Geometry library not working in IE [8]
Kasper
In IE8 the webpage stops loading because it gets the following error:
Bericht: 'elementType' is leeg of geen object
Regel: 27
Teken: 68
Code: 0
URI: http://maps.gstatic.com/cat_js/intl/nl_nl/mapfiles/api-3/7/1/%7Bmain,geometry%7D.js
In FF and Safari the page loads fine...
I'm using this in my head:
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/js?libraries=geometry&sensor=false"></script>
Why does this happen? What is going wrong?
I also checked with the W3C validator, and my website is valid:
This document was successfully checked as XHTML 1.0 Transitional!

looks to me like you are including the API twice, once with the
library once without:
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://maps.googleapis.com/maps/
api/js?sensor=false"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://maps.googleapis.com/maps/
api/js?libraries=geometry&sensor=false"></script>

But yeah, I include it twice, because I need two different parts: the
main library and the geometry library?
Or would the first include all?
Also, when removing one of both, it still doesnt work... :(
Any suggestions?

Your demo page is still loading the API twice
http://code.google.com/apis/maps/documentation/javascript/basics.html#Libraries
once will do
Kasper
there...
And when I include the geometry library, does it automatically also
include the rest?

The documentation isn't great.
You only need one line which looks generally like this:
<script type="text/javascript"
src="http://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/js?sensor=true"></script>
The part before the ? loads the API. Everything after the ? (apart
from sensor=something) is optional and varies the behaviour of the
API: you can include libraries, specify a particular version, specify
two kinds of localisation and a callback function for asynchronous
loading.
To include more than one library you use a comma-separated list. So
something like this is possible, which should be all together on one
line. This loads the API with all the specified options.
<script type="text/javascript"
src="http://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/js?sensor=false&v=3.5&libraries=geometry,places®ion=GB&language=ja"></script>

When you're ready, show us the page with that problem. There's no
point in us looking at a page that is something like the one you are
having trouble with, and which has some other already identified but
unfixed problem.

Yes, the keyword is 'include'. One call to the maps API will load the
core API plus whatever libraries you request in its parameters.
Kasper
API, but I wasn't completely sure.
Now, the page with only one left: http://bit.ly/umutPV
Rossko
Your included script
jquery.topzindex.min.js
is not accessible on your server
You have
<div id="map_canvas" style="width: 100%; height: 100%; ...
but the parent of this div (the <body>) has no specified size. 100%
of undefined is undefined.
Kasper
remove it... I wasn't using its functions anymore though.
I also gave the body 100% width and height now, so that is fixed too.
Thanks for pointing out those errors.
Though, it still doesnt work in IE :(
