hi folks!

i got a problem which bugs me for a quiet long time. i made a page for a small wine-company and used embedded googlemaps to show the position of the vineyards and the company's location. i embedded it with googl's autogenerated iframe tag, which worked out quiet nice in mozilla and ie7, but NOT in ie6 or ie5.5.

i have spend some time searching for a solution, it seems that there are some people out there having the same problem, but i couldnt find a workaround.

the forum says i cannot post urls to other sites, so i put the code down here (sorry, had to truncate the embedded urls as well):

Code:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="iso-8859-1"?>
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN"
      "htt...TD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html xmlns="htt...html">
<head>
  <meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1" />
 <title>Winzerhof</title>
  <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="style.css"/>
</head>

<body>
<div>
<iframe width="90%" height="300px" frameborder="0" scrolling="no" style="margin:20px;" src="ht..2844662956395.00043ab818214f337e2ce&amp;ll=48.455164,15.608826&amp;spn=0.079693,0.145912&amp;z=12&amp;output=embed"></iframe>

	<div> blabla</div>

</body>
</html>

so if you got any ideas: help please!

thanks in advance

What exactly is the problem? You don't mention the symptoms...

As well, your pasted code doesn't help much without the true URL.

Either way, I'd suggest using the vanilla API. A few lines of code and you're up and running and it won't require an iframe.

sorry, forgot: ie6 only shows a grey box instead of the map, somtimes with the zoom controls of google maps

Unfortunately there isn't enough info to go on for an answer to your question. If you'd like to stick with the iframe method I suggest installing the MS Script Debugger (Download details: Script Debugger for Windows NT 4.0 and Later) or some equivalent and working from there.

Sounds like you have a bug in your code. Have you attached the required JavaScript to the page, and have you registered an API key with google for the domain you're using it on? I don't see a any JavaScript references in your code.

Also, try using this to get your iframe and javascript code:
mapmaker.donkeymagic.co.uk
