When you say 'does not work': can you be more specific? is it that the
map doens't display correctly, or is it that there is a Javascript error?

I never put the script anywhere but the <head> of the page because there
are plenty of issues doing anything else. In this case, your init() is
probably being called before the end of the table has had a chance to
load, and as a result, the map has no width/height when it's
initialized, and thus it doesn't show up correctly after initializing.

Is there a specific reason you need to do it hte way you are?
