Issue Summary

We have discovered that this Embed Google Maps Field doesn't work in IE7. It works great in IE8 and Firefox. I have ensured that the directions have been followed exactly to the readme file plus tried anything else I can think of.

I don't think it is actually a problem with the module code, I think it is actually a problem with Google Maps. I have done some searching and this is a bigger issue that is outside Drupal. Google's response to this issue is "Update to IE8", however this is not a solution as there are many people still using IE7 and you cannot get them to update their IE version before they visit your website.

If you are running this module I suggest you find a machine with IE7 and test it out.

This is really a heads up for people using this module, plus a request to see if any Drupal coders might be able to find a solution at the Drupal end.

The error is as follows:

---------------------------------------------
POPUP WINDOW
Internet Explorer cannot open the Internet site.
http://yousite-etc

Operation Aborted.
-----------------------------------------------

Then when you click OK on the error message, the Google Map section in the page shows as "Page Not Found".
