Hello everyone!
I just started a small project and i wanted to use google maps along with it. I made a test page and got google maps to work just fine, but once I tried implementing it to my project, it doesn't work and i'm not sure why.
I've deleted several lines of code and nothing seems to be working. Starting to think it's because I'm using a resposnive theme website that it won't load google maps.
Any advice is greatly appreciated.
What's the site, dude?
Oh ... i'm sorry ... um ... should I post the Code? or something?
Post a link to the site itself.
I can tell you, thought, that a responsive design by itself will have no bearing on a Google map.
This is what i been working with the last few days, still haven't gotten the map to load.

You're not calling the initialize() function. You're defining it, but not calling it.
Anywhere after the </div> tag for googleMap will do.
ok so like i said i am rather new at this, how do i call for the function?
what i don't understand is if i do this ...
I get google maps working fine, but the moment i try to get it to run under my nav, it won't run ... even without calling for it.Code:<!DOCTYPE html>

<head>
<script

</script>
<script>
function initialize()
{
var mapProp = {
center:new google.maps.LatLng(51.508742,-0.120850),
zoom:5,
mapTypeId:google.maps.MapTypeId.ROADMAP
};
var map=new google.maps.Map(document.getElementById("googleMap"),mapProp);
}
google.maps.event.addDomListener(window, 'load', initialize);
</script>
<style type="text/css">
html {height:100%}
body {height:100%;margin:0;padding:0}
#googleMap {height:100%}
</style>
</head>
<body>
<div id="googleMap"></div>
</body>
</html>
Take that last line out of your script. All you need to do is this:
The second line calls your initialize function.Code:<div id="googleMap"></div>
<script type="text/javascript">initialize();</script>
Thank you
