Hi Scott.

Take a look at this version of your page:

http://code.martinpearman.co.uk/deleteme/GMap1.html

I'm 99% sure you don't need the loadDelay() function as the
initialize() function only executes once the entire page has loaded -
whether the page is viewed directly or within an IFRAME i don't think
you need that delay.

And the line:

google.load("maps", "2.x");

Is not required either - the API loads via the SCRIPT element with the
API key.

Putting the height:100% CSS rule in an inline STYLE element means the
page now validates:

http://validator.w3.org/check?verbose=1&uri=http%3A%2F%2Fcode.martinpearman.co.uk%2Fdeleteme%2FGMap1.html

Your version of the page has some errors - whether one or more of
these errors stopped the map displaying full 100% size i don't know:

http://validator.w3.org/check?verbose=1&uri=http%3A%2F%2Fmysite.verizon.net%2Fvzenti29%2Fpublic_html%2FGmap1.html
