Thank you for the explanation.
I decided to tidy everything up a bit. I made a separate js file for
the javascript http://www.pinkpigeon.net/wp-content/themes/kava/js/map.js
and then made my WordPress shortcode only the divs:
function wpmap() {
return '<div id="map_canvas" style="width:632px; height:323px;
margin-left:40px">
</div>';
}
add_shortcode('map', 'wpmap');
It's easier to see what's going on this way.
It works really well, I'm very happy, I only started looking at this
just over a day ago and now I have a google map that loads really
fast, a custom marker, a "home" button, street view pegman and a
dropdown menu. I've achieved much more than I could have done with any
wordpress plugin, it's neater, I learnt more because I did all myself,
and I wrote my first wordpress shortcode to boot!
Thank you for the help and useful documentation for the API :-)
