<DIV>Add this line before the map div and you should see what I'm seeing.</DIV>

<DIV>So the map div has not been modified from what you'd see in the tutorials, it only has width and height defined. It is not positioned at all, just moved aside by another div that is positioned. I guess that's the problem.</DIV>
