title: Google Maps API v3 in internet explorer 9 doesn't load
body: <p>I am having an issue loading Google Maps API V3 in internet explorer.  Here's a list of things that I've done already:</p>
  
  <ol>
  <li>Checked out this <a href="http://support.google.com/maps/bin/answer.py?hl=en&amp;answer=21849" rel="nofollow noreferrer">link</a>, because apparently Google's heard complaints from IE users before.  None of these things solved my problem.  </li>
  <li>Tested maps.google.com from IE9.  It works fine from there, but my page does not.</li>
  <li>The web designer said that she could intermittently get it to load in IE.  I never was able to.  So it seems somewhat random.</li>
  <li>I killed everything in my code <em>except</em> for the google maps stuff, and it still didn't fly.</li>
  <li>I saw <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/8148058/google-maps-api-v3-internet-explorer">this</a>, which says that it might have a problem with misplaced commas in the code.  I don't have any of those.  I do make extensive use of jquery and dojo, but I wouldn't imagine that would be an issue, would it?</li>
  <li>Of course, it works fine in Chrome,FF,Safari, etc.  It's just an issue with IE9.</li>
  </ol>
  
  <p>Anybody have any thoughts?  </p>
  
  <p>Here's the content from my initialize function, which is called once the body loads.</p>
  
  <pre><code>      var map;
  
  
        function initialize() {
  
          var myOptions = {
            center: new google.maps.LatLng(38.97, -94.72),
            zoom: 13,
            scaleControl:true,
            mapTypeId: google.maps.MapTypeId.ROADMAP
  
          };
          map = new google.maps.Map(document.getElementById("map_canvas"),
              myOptions);
  }
  </code></pre>
