I have a custom google map. It seems very simple.

}

<body onload="initialize()">
<div id="GardenWalk_Canvas" style="width: 500; height: 350" />
text after
</body>
</html>
The only problem is that the map only shows when the following is removed:
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
Any thoughts or rhyme or reason as to why?
