Google Maps API V3 - Display None Div not playing well

[Stu]

Hey Bruce/Folks,

Have upgraded some old mapping code to V3 of google maps api.

Experiencing a strange "only shows a portion of the map" issue.

On googling, found this .. http://stackoverflow.com/questions/4358582/google-map-shows-only-partially.

Seems to be saying you should not "display:none" the div.

Problem for me is, the maps div lives in a tab on a form, which is display:none'd by the template.

I could probably do something similar to the so post answer. Mark the maps div specifically as "display:inline;", then hide it after the map has loaded. Will give that a crack.

Fiddling with "display:inline;" and $().show/hide hasn't worked so far (haven't found the right logic, if it exists).

Anyone got any tips/tricks to get around this issue?

I think I came across the same problem when I played with the Maps. Haven't got back to it yet though, so haven't got a solution unfortunately.

cheers
Bruce

Thanks Bruce, no worries. Isn't a pressing issue for me either
