It looks to me like you have a "zero size div" problem in IE (IE is reporting zero for the size of the map div when the map object is being constructed). It looks like you have invalid html: http://validator.w3.org/check?uri=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.xelawho.com%2Fmap%2F&charset=%28detect+automatically%29&doctype=Inline&group=0 You need to make sure all the elements are closed correctly (most of the other errors don't matter). -- Larry > > thanks in advance, > > Lucas -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Google Maps API V2" group.
