maps put center in top left hand corner of div.

[Tonks]

I am writing a webapp using iui which has everything on one page and navigates between different <div>'s.  I have a list of places which the user can choose and he is then shown a route from the nearest motorway junction to the chosen place.  this works fine the first time the map is initialized.  But then if the user goes back and chooses a different place, the map is re rendered in the same div but the center point of the defined route is put at the top left of the div.  This does not happen all the time and it sometimes works fine which is very confusing.  The code calls the initialize function every time a new map is needed.  Is this the wrong way to do this?

If the div is not visible or has a size of 0 when it is created then you need to trigger the resize event on the map when it is later displayed.

google.maps.event.trigger(map, 'resize');

Hi luke

Thanks for the reply but the div is visible when the map is initialized as the initialize function is called by an onfocus event for the div.

Here is a link to my dev area  http://streatnet.dyndns.org/mb/dev.html

The screen size is set up for an iphone but chrome shows the problem up as well.  The center should be between the two markers.

Thanks

Tony

Hi luke

Thanks for your help.  Your suggestion seems to have worked.  It was 1am in the morning when I got your reply and was so tired, I made the change in the wrong script.  

Thanks again.

Tony
