google map shows when I put it there, but not if I put it there... ??

Ok,  I have a really basic php page set up to provide members of a profile system edit their details.  I'm trying to emplement a google map to show the zip code but if I put the div in the place I want it, it doesn't show.  First some code:

 

$map_insert_html='<div id="map_canvas" style="width:10%; height:10%"></div>';

 

This works :

<table width="100%" border="1">
<tr>
	<td width="10%" valign="top">
	<?php

		switch($member_status) {
			case 'main_admin':
				include("main_menu.php");
				break;
		}

	?>

	</td>
	<td valign="top">

		<?php
			if ($output_str!='') {
				echo $output_str .'<br />';
			}
			echo $detail_form_html;
        
		?>
	</td>
	<td>

	</td>

</tr>
</table>
<?php
echo $map_insert_html;
?>

 

And this doesn't :

 

<table width="100%" border="1">
<tr>
	<td width="10%" valign="top">
	<?php

		switch($member_status) {
			case 'main_admin':
				include("main_menu.php");
				break;

	}

	?>

	</td>
	<td valign="top">

		<?php
			if ($output_str!='') {
				echo $output_str .'<br />';
			}
			echo $detail_form_html.$map_insert_html;
        
		?>
	</td>
	<td>

	</td>

</tr>
</table>

 

Maybe the table covers it up?  I'm not sure what to look for, I don't know what the problem is!

 

Any help on this is very appreciated!

Thanks

More likely $detail_form_html has some unclosed element.

 

Showing the HTML output would be more useful than showing the PHP in this case.

Thanks for the fast reply!

 

I have already went over $detail_form_html a few times.  I will do so again.

 

If I reverse the lines

 

echo $map_insert_html;

echo '<br />';

echo $detail_form_html;

 

It still doesn't work.  If there was still a problem with $detail_form_html, wouldn't the map show?

 

Again, thanks for the prompt reply.  You make a good point and I will search over the code again!

It has something to do with the table re-sizing after the map is rendered.

changed

$map_insert_html='<div id="map_canvas" style="width:10%; height:10%"></div>';

to

$map_insert_html='<div id="map_canvas" style="width:100px; height:100px"></div>';
