Re: Map API stopped working for IE6

We've also encountered the same issue with IE6.  Our application was working fine yesterday morning then stopped loading the GMap and throwing errors such as GMap2 undefined, GClientGeocoder undefined, GOverlay undefined.  However, if the page is simply reloaded, all is well again.  There have been no changes to the application or the system environment.  Currently we're using the 2.x api, but the same issue occures with 2.0.  With further investigation, we found that other PC's using IE6 didn't have this initial load problem and worked ok.  The problem PC uses IE6 version 6.0.2900.5512 xpsp_sp3_gdr.090804-1435.  Another PC with IE6 that works ok is version 6.0.2900.5512.xpsp.080413-2111.  Both boxes are XP SP3.  The application also works ok with IE7 and IE8 on XP and Vista machines.  I've tried flushing the cache with no change in behavior.  Whatever changed seems to have happened on Monday afternoon.  Any ideas?

We fixed the redundant " on our test box and that still did not
resolve the issue with IE6.
