[pmwiki-users] Google Map API 2.2.0 Pre 6 Release (Icons)

[Ben Wilson]

http://www.pmwiki.org/wiki/GoogleMapAPI/EastLansingTest

Pm installed pre-6 a few days ago. As you can see, the installation
seems to be working okay there (I cut/pasted your map coords). When I
checked your source, I noticed that the Javascript code that initiates
the map is not appearing,[1] although all other areas appear to be
populating the Skin. Check your installation, and let's see if we can
figure out the problem.

I loaded Firefox's error console and received no errors. Perhaps set
$GmaDebug =1 (I've not used this for a while, so no telling if this
will give any clues)?

I also recommend using single-quotes instead of double quotes. PmWiki
seems to have issues with double quotes in ParseArgs, IMO. If you look
at the GMA example for "Codes...", you will see the entire title
displays, whereas the others do not. The difference is the
single/double quote distinction.

The script is obviously engaging, as the page I'm working on ( http://www.davidaspitzley.org/Habitrail/index.php?n=Maps.DowntownEastLansing ) has an appropriately-sized gap, but it's empty.  Checking the HTML page source shows that the map div is being added, but nothing is happening.  Even after correcting the <html$GmapIEFix> tag to <html$GmaIEFix>, I still get nothing but blank space, both in IE and Firefox.  Any suggestions?  Here's my map (though even a simple one with a simple point fails to display):
