Maps module in IE8 dw version 8.4 not working - any ideas?

I have tried getting the maps module to work in IE8, it was working apparently in dw version 8.2.3.17 but in later versions it stopped working.

Haven't changed anything in the templates, I have no idea, and support says the only way to get it to work is to set the solution back to 8.2.3.17 thats just not the right way.

Any ideas on how to fix this is much appreciated.

I have attached a screendump showing the error in IE8 on a XP machine

Heres hoping for a solution :o)

Regards

Peter

I'd like to see the generated page source for both the working version (8.2.3.17) and the non-working one.

Hi Mikkel

I'm not able to downgrade it, but i've attached the page source, this page is working in chrome, IE 11, firefox and so on but when the customer runs it on windows xp ie 8 It gives the former attached error and never draws the map online lists all addresses.

I have windows xp and IE8 on a VM image where I screendumped the error.

You have to upgrade your Maps.js script. Either to a patched version of your current script [https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/77245248/dynamicweb/maps/Maps.patched.js] or the latest version [https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/77245248/dynamicweb/maps/Maps.js]. I recommend that you use the latest version.

Oh, and by the way, you're including the Google Maps API twice on your page. Remove the line

<script src="http://maps.google.com/maps/api/js?sensor=false" type="text/javascript"></script>

from your page template. The Maps module takes care of including the Google Maps API.

Hi Mikkel!

We've got a customer with the same issue here in IE8.

Adding the new maps.js got the maps showing, but the search functionality still won't work:

Any ideas?

It's a good idea to use a modern browser: http://browsehappy.com/

IE8 reports a JavaScript error on http://www.scanpan.dk/da-DK/Forhandlere.aspx. Try setting the height of the element containing the actual map:

<div class="map" style="width: <!--@MapWidth-->; height: <!--@MapHeight-->;">
  <div id="<!--@MapElementID-->"></div>
</div>

Best regards,

It's a very good idea indeed. Tell that to our end-users ;)

Thanks for the tip about height, that did the trick.

Best regards,
Martin
