Hello,

I am having great difficulty in getting my map to render in IE7. I have checked the 'last comma' issue that occurs in IE7 but this all looks fine.

Would be very greatful if anyone can help.

I've attached the HTML

Thanks in advance.

Jason
map.html

An active link to an online server would be far easier to deal with.

What size is your map supposed to be? You don't appear to have
specified anything. IE in particular needs that, or it has to guess.
It never guesses right and needs to be told explicitly. If you use
percentages, then you need to go up the hierarchy (all the way to
<html>) so IE can tell what "100%" is 100% of.

Actually I spoke to soon, that didn't fix it! Unfortunately I can't mount it on a live server as its an internal page at my company.

Would appreciate any other ideas if anyone has any.

Thanks

Then you'll have a Premier licence which comes with support from
Google ...

I suggest following my advice.

Currently you haven't set any heights at all, so IE assumes it's zero.
If you set 100% for #map_canvas, body and html, it works.
