it's the height that's important in this case.

Originally all the V3 examples had the map_canvas styled inline at
100% width and 100% height, but without a DOCTYPE, which worked on all
browsers. The intention was to make the map fit the entire screen,
which is particularly important on mobile devices, the original target
of V3.

However it's bad practice to leave out the DOCTYPE, and this issue was
reported:
http://code.google.com/p/gmaps-api-issues/issues/detail?id=1333

Recently all examples have been fixed to use external CSS instead of
the inline 100% styles, for example:
http://code.google.com/apis/maps/documentation/javascript/examples/map-simple.html

the styles are:

<style type="text/css">
  html { height: 100% }
  body { height: 100%; margin: 0px; padding: 0px }
  #map_canvas { height: 100% }
</style>
