Inserting Google maps into website

Hi Walt,
I have been successfully using your example to display Google maps without any problems. However I have just checked out the page in question on a PC in IE 6 and it just doesn’t seem to want to display properly. Here is the page in question:

http://www.pixelarte.co.uk/test/map.html

Any idea why it might not be showing properly?

Thanks,
Richard

Well, your page has two head tags, and neither one is closed. That
might be the problem. I ran it through the validator at w3, and it
caught that right away. There are no scripting errors to report from
Firebug. Did you code this by hand, or in Freeway? I think the second
head tag was supposed to be your close head tag.

Richard,

I have come across this problem before and found that if I uncheck
the IE6 compatible box in the inspector pane the google map will
display properly.

Hi Walt & Neil,
Thanks for your replies.
Walt I cleaned up the html. I had forgotten to delete the head tags from the HTML Markup in Freeway - so it just repeated them. Thanks for pointing that out.

However it still didn’t work properly so I tried Neils suggestion of switching off IE6 compatibility when publishing and it now works fine - apart from the fact that the png graphics I am using on the page now don’t display properly ARGGGG. Don’t you just love IE6 !!!

Many thanks to you both,

Richard

Why not use an iframe of an IE6 uncompatible page (with the map on it) within a IE6 compatible page.

Hi Maccie,
Thanks for that it worked a treat.
