That won't help. The script is apparently no good. No matter how you
include it, it is going to run exactly the same.

BTW, are you using the Windows Beta? It has issues. I just updated
my copy and some of them went away.

You still have the same error in Safari as the one I told you about 2
days ago. It seems that the script uses browser detection and
incorrectly attempts to use attachEvent for Safari when it should be
using addEventListener. There maybe more errors than that - as I said
in my previous post, I have no intention of attempting to debug a large,
obfuscated and minified script file.

One thing that has changed is that there are now 99 validation errors,
there were only 93.

I think the whole strategy is flawed - your page is 1.2MB of stuff.
Most on-line phone directories have their own map systems that are free
and don't have the same bugs this stuff has. Why not just list the
locations and put a link to the white pages or whatever, along with
contact details?

The whole zooming map thing is a complete waste of bandwidth.

Forgot to add that the string "attachEvent" occurs 234 times in the
script, addEventListener occurs 11 times - good luck with debugging that!
