Google Maps widget doesn't work in IE7 or IE6 on PC

After redesigning my site, and adding 2 widgets (countdown timer and google maps), I QA-ed the site on my PC.
The Google Maps widget is not working. I get a JavaScript error "undefined is null".
***?!

unfortunately a LOT of people still use IE 6 and own cruddy PC's! Whenever I look at the Awestats for any of my sites, one of the main things I look at is what browsers are used to view my sites. IE6 and 7 are the largest percentage.
What Apple really needs to do is dummy down some of their bloated JavaScript or at least while testing out their new releases - get a cruddy Dell with IE 6 and 7 and even Netscape on it and see what viewers will see when visiting an iWeb developed site. Apple is way ahead of the average population of internet users (kudos to Apple and its why I own a Mac) however, the average population of internet users are not sophisticated enough to upgrade their computers/browsers. It would be nice if Apple would humble their applications just a little bit.
It's not just widgets that pitter out on IE but entire iWeb sites. It's all in the heavy iWebSite.js !

Google Maps Widget doesn't work after upgrade to Safari 4.0

After a lengthy bit of trouble shooting with an iWeb specialist yesterday, we reached a conclusion that somehow installing the release version of Safari 4.0 (released Monday, 6/8) causes the GoogleMaps widget to not function or display properly. Using backup harddrives of recent systems, the widget worked properly in OS X 10.5.7 running iWeb 3.0.1 with both Safari 3.2 and the BETA VERSION of Safari 4. On that same system, once I download and installed the release of Safari 4., the maps widget would not work or display properly.
To describe what doesn't work: None of the options (search field, address bubble, or zoom controls) appear regardless of what the user selects in the HUD when creating or editing the content. I am unable to pan and/or scroll around the map within its bounding box at all. The only thing I am able to do is edit the address field in the HUD and end up with a map with that location centered in the window.
The AppleCare specialist didn't have much response in that I think this is a brand new and VERY obscure bug.
I am curious to know if anyone else has exprienced this condition.

It may be obscure in iWeb but the Safari 4 update has messed up the Google maps in iPhoto big time. Be sure to report it as they are all related to the Safari 4 upgrade and probably only be solved by a Safari fix.

Google Images Widget doesn't work

I just upgraded from the last Tiger revision to Leopard 10.5.1. When I try to find something using the Google images widget, the search never finds anything. Any clues on how to fix this?

More than likely it's because Google Images is an Internet Plug-in. These plug-ins are no longer supported in Leopard and won't work.
There are, fortunately, some helpful workarounds. Download the freeware utility PimpKit - VersionTracker or MacUpdate - that will enable these older plug-ins to be enabled in Leopard. This should fix the problem until Google upgrades the plug-in for Leopard compatibility.

The new maps application doesn't work. I want Google Maps back!!!!

The new maps application doesn't work. I want Google Maps back!!!!
Most of the locations and search are not shown.
choose to go by bus is not working:(
I'm totally disappointed because of that.

Try doing a reset - hold down the sleep/wake button and the Home button together until the Apple logo appears, then let them go and allow the iPad to finish restarting. Then launch Safari and try to open a new tab.

Google Maps Widget Not Showing Marker

I've added the Google Maps Widget to my page, but the marker doesn't show in the map: http://www.lessue.com/JUNK2GO/les-sue_contact.htm. The map is positioned correctly but a marker is needed. addMarker() should be at least be showing "We are Here" according to the script. I also added my own marker image to the icon:" " attribute thinking I needed to supply it, but that doesn't work either. What am I missing? Thank you.

Here is the documentation for Spry UI Widgets http://labs.adobe.com/technologies/spry/ui/.
As far as the other widgets are concerned, the author of the widget may be able to help you.

Problem With Google Map Widget

I'm trying to add a google map widget to a web page and having some problems setting my exact location. I live in a rural area so I can't just type in my address. I figured I would be able to put in the Latitude & Longitude insead, but that does not work.
Is there a way to set the Latitude & Longitude? Or, is there a way to move the marker so I can get it exactly where I want it? I tried several key commands and was not able to do that either.
Thanks for any info!

Go to Google Maps itself, find your location and use the provided links to display that page in a HTML Snippet with the <iframe> HTML element :
<iframe src="http://url.to.file.html" frameborder="0" width="500" height="500" scrolling="no" allowTransparency="true"></iframe>
Adjust the width and height to fit the page.
Here's how I do it :

Google map widget does not show up in published site. Any suggestions?

After I've dragged the google map widget onto my page and publish it, it does not show up in the published site. Any suggestions?

Try publishing to a local folder and double clicking the index.html file to launch your site in the browser direct from your hard disk to see if the map works.
Where are you publishing to - MobileMe or another server?

Is it possible to have multiple locations in the Google Maps widget?

Hey folks,
Lets say you're designing a website for a client with multiple stores, you just want to point them all out, right?
Just want to know if it is possible to have multiple locations in the Google Maps widget. I guess it shouldn't be that difficult, but I can't figure it out..
any help would be highly appreciated!
thanks,
Thom

It seems that you can only use one address for this widget.
For this to work you will need to create the map in Google Maps with all your points and then copy the embed .html from Google into Muse.
Example of an embed google map with multiple points imported into Muse:

Google Map Widget & IE8

Hi all,
I'm wondering if anybody else is having trouble with using the google map widget displaying in IE, and if so how have you resolved it.
I have just put together my first site for my wife (currently live on http://web.me.com/chris_payne) and have been testing it in all the browsers. Seems fine in Safari, Firefox & Chrome but IE is proving to be a painful experience!
I have considered not using the widget and just using google map code in an html widget - the only problem I have if I go this route is I can't work out how to get rid of the big speech bubble that appears on the map.
Really grateful for any help offered (and any feedback on the site, including how I can get it to perform better).
Thanks ever so, Chris
PS - I know the photos are bad quality, they will be improved before the site goes fully live!

The bubble appears when you click the red pin.
To get rid of the bubble, click the close box or click on an area of the map.

Updated to 10.4.9 and now weather widget doesn't work-what to do?

Hello-
Just updated to 10.4.9 tonight and for the first time since I bought this computer in August, the weather widget doesn't work.
Would anyone happen to know what I could do to get this to work. I am connected to the internet, I can access the accuweather.com that I think this widget connects to, I restarted and reset PRAM (not even sure if that has anything to do with it).
I just don't even know where to go from here to troubleshoot. Any suggestions would be appreciated... Thanks.

Just for the record... There is quite a bit of discussion about widgets. I only use the dictionary and iStat. I use WeatherPop in the taskbar, which resides in the taskbar...
It did it again this morning. I let it boot all the way, and then I went into system preferences to find the resolution that the display was using. It was 1400x1050. But there was a second display preferences window open. Basically... The computer was "mirroring" to a second non-existent monitor. I ran through the "detect displays" and it got rid of the second setting.
I've never had a second monitor hooked to the machine, and I've never messed with the display settings, other than to change wallpaper. I'm not sure how or why it turned on, but I think it's off now... Weird that it only did it every now and then.

My live corners widget doesn't work, how can i fix it ?

my live corners widget doesn't work, how can i fix it ?

jotapepea,
You may have a look at the list below. The easy ones are at the top.
The following is a general list of things you may try when the issue is not in a specific file (you may have tried/done some of them already); 1) and 2) are the easy ones for temporary strangenesses, and 3) and 4) are specifically aimed at possibly corrupt preferences); 5) is a list in itself, and 6) is the last resort.
1) Close down Illy and open again;
2) Restart the computer (you may do that up to 3 times);
3) Close down Illy and press Ctrl+Alt+Shift/Cmd+Option+Shift during startup (easy but irreversible);
4) Move the folder (follow the link with that name) with Illy closed (more tedious but also more thorough and reversible);
5) Look through and try out the relevant among the Other options (follow the link with that name, Item 7) is a list of usual suspects among other applications that may disturb and confuse Illy, Item 15) applies to CC, CS6, and maybe CS5);
Even more seriously, you may:
6) Uninstall, run the Cleaner Tool (if you have CS3/CS4/CS5/CS6/CC), and reinstall.

Google Maps widget for Captivate 4

Hi people,
I am planning to create a google maps widget for captivate 4. Something like it will load a map of the location(longitude,latitude) set by the project author in the published SWF at runtime.
If you like the idea, then please give your suggestions and options which you would like to see in the widget. Then what kind of controls you want to have in the widget.

Hey there,
Take a look at this web address

This includes a Google Map widget created by the Adobe Captivate team.

Google map widget

Is there a way to put multiple pins on a google map when you insert it?

Put the pins on the map before you get the code to add to an HTML snippet as in this demo page: Google Direction/Route Maps.
I used the HTML snippet widget instead of the Google Maps widget.
