google map not showing up

[rmcguire80]

can someone look at my page at

http://www.meadowlarktransport.com/regions.php

and let me know why my google map isn't showing up?

Not sure about the Google Map but I get a malicious cookie warning from your website and 106 errors on validation. Might be worth curing the validation errors before trying to nail down a specific error.

It has been a while since I configured a Google map. Isn't there supposed to be a site API key to access Google's services? I do not see it in the HTML. Nor am I clear where the JS functions are being called.

I don't think you need an API key any more, spamjim.

I think the problem is you define a load of JS functions to display your map, but don't actually call any of them. So it should work if you just add this after the map_canvas div is closed:

 <script type="text/javascript"> 
     initialize();
</script>

That said, it's fairly bold to enter the whole maps functionality in one go and then hope it works - because if it doesn't, it's much harder to find the fault. I'd advise starting small - just displaying the plain map - and get that working. Then try plotting a polygon, then make it clickable, then add more polygons - checking that it works at each stage.

Chris,

I added the above after the closing of my map_canvas div but didn't affect anything....the only thing I did was copy my google map code from another page and put it within a page which I already had at

http://www.meadowlarktransport.com/locations.php

overwriting the script from that google map version which does require an api key

yes I know they are validation errors but I don't see why just by overwriting my script the map isn't showing up?

thanks for any help provided

the page which I had the google map script on is at

http://www.meadowlarkco.com/sales.php

Assuming the original code works correctly, how and where is the initialise function called in the working version and are any params passed to the function?
Are any other functions called from anywhere else in the original source code?

No the sales.php page is where I copied the script and no other external functions are called

everything else on the page is the navigatin bar and what is below the map

Do we have access to the sales.php page, to see the map working?

initialise() is called from your onload event in the working version but not at all in the non working version
