Google Map Not Showing

Hello,

I have a page that I believe should be displaying a Google map but isn't. I believe the XML data is in place, but I've obviously done something wrong...!

Please take a look at www.villasdirect.com/top-destinations.asp

Thanks in advance!

Well, according to my javascript console, your XML file is invalid. Having a closer look at the XML, it appears to be all of the " " values in there that are causing the issue.

How are you generating the XML?

Hi Carl,

Thanks for your help - not quite there yet though.

I have cleaned up the XML - the  's were there as the town attribute was empty, so I did that intentionally, but now I have removed anything not necessary (including town), but it still doesn't quite click...

Best wishes/Nico

It appears you also have an encoding issue. You don't have an XML declaration in your document so it is using the default UTF-8 character set - and some of you data must be using something not included in the set.

Try adding this to the start of you XML:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="iso-8859-1"?>

nope - didn't do it either...

I have now tried to minimise all the other data on the page so we can get to the root of the issue.

This simplified page can be seen here: http://www.villasdirect.com/deps/country-map.asp?country=greece

I'm sure I've done something stupid though...

Thanks so much Carl - it was the autolng/autolat causing a javascript error that stopped it working...!
