Safari and Window.onload timing

You're most likely correct, I wasn't sure what he wanted, made the
suggestion, and just followed up. If it's the wrong thing for what he
needs, then I apologize to the OP for leading him down the wrong path,
definitely.

~A!

What route should I take in resolving this issue?

Why don't you ask the person who wrote the map script? Or look at a
site that implements it successfully (if one exists.)

Well. The original creator of the script does not support it any
longer. He was using v3 of Live maps that never supported safari. I
"hacked" it up for use with my georss feed and got it working with v6
that does support safari.
A site that has successfully implemented something simular to mine
doesn't exist (that I know of)

Hard to tell you what is wrong with a site that tells me Safari Browsers
are not supported by Microsoft.

You still haven't answered my original question in my original reply to you.

"And what issue is that?"

Well, you finally did say that you couldn't get the map to appear. But,
when you blanket give me a page to try in Safari to try to figure out
what the error is, it doesn't do a lot of good to redirect me to a page
that tells me you don't support the browser you want to debug.

And don't quote signatures. It makes me more brutal than Opera/Safari
mixups.

The issue is this. I can get the map to appear. But I can not get the
GEORSS feed to appear in the map (The dots). I can get it to work in
Firefox and IE. No workie in Safari. I have edited the javascript to
allow Safari users to see what I am talking about.I think I know what
I might need to do. I can not attach the javascript as a separate
file. I may have to include it into the page.

That won't help. The script is apparently no good. No matter how you
include it, it is going to run exactly the same.

BTW, are you using the Windows Beta? It has issues. I just updated
my copy and some of them went away.

You still have the same error in Safari as the one I told you about 2
days ago. It seems that the script uses browser detection and
incorrectly attempts to use attachEvent for Safari when it should be
using addEventListener. There maybe more errors than that - as I said
in my previous post, I have no intention of attempting to debug a large,
obfuscated and minified script file.

One thing that has changed is that there are now 99 validation errors,
there were only 93.

I think the whole strategy is flawed - your page is 1.2MB of stuff.
Most on-line phone directories have their own map systems that are free
and don't have the same bugs this stuff has. Why not just list the
locations and put a link to the white pages or whatever, along with
contact details?

The whole zooming map thing is a complete waste of bandwidth.

Forgot to add that the string "attachEvent" occurs 234 times in the
script, addEventListener occurs 11 times - good luck with debugging that!
