Hoping that I do not offend anyone by pasting script rather than linking,
below is Google's own sample code for asynchronous loading of the Maps API,
very slightly tweaked to fully qualify default.css. This works very
cleanly, with only one set of controls in the upper left of the display:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<title>
Google Maps JavaScript API v3 Example: Asynchronous Map Simple
</title>
<meta name="viewport" content="initial-scale=1.0, user-scalable=no">
<meta charset="UTF-8">
<link href="
http://code.google.com/apis/maps/documentation/javascript/examples/default.css
"
rel="stylesheet" type="text/css">
<script type="text/javascript">
function initialize() {
var myOptions = {
zoom: 8,
center: new google.maps.LatLng(-34.397, 150.644),
mapTypeId: google.maps.MapTypeId.ROADMAP
};
var map = new google.maps.Map(document.getElementById('map_canvas'),
myOptions);
}
function loadScript() {
var script = document.createElement('script');
script.type = 'text/javascript';
script.src = 'http://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/js?sensor=false&;'
+
'callback=initialize';
document.body.appendChild(script);
}
window.onload = loadScript;
</script>
</head>
<body>
<div id="map_canvas"></div>
</body>
</html>
And here is the above, tweaked as minimally as possible to conform to
XHTML. The map itself paints very nicely, but the controls at the upper
left are duplicated, two sets of images, separated vertically by
approximately 50 pixels. Same effect under both IE 9.0 and Safari 5.1.2:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN" "
http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd";>
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"; xml:lang="en" lang="en"
xmlns:epub="http://www.idpf.org/2007/ops";

};
var map = new google.maps.Map(document.getElementById('map_canvas'),
myOptions);
}
function loadScript() {
var script = document.createElement('script');
script.type = 'text/javascript';
script.src =
'http://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/js?sensor=false&' +
'callback=initialize';
document.body.appendChild(script);
}
window.onload = loadScript;
</script>
</head>
<body>
<div id="map_canvas"></div>
</body>
</html>
What is causing the duplication of the controls at the upper left of the
screen? Thanks.
