hi

gmaplocation works on firefox and chrome but not on IE8.

in IE8 (winxp) we get the following error description

Meldung: Das Objekt unterstützt diese Eigenschaft oder Methode nicht.
Zeile: 12
Zeichen: 5
Code: 0
URI: http://www.DOMAIN.com/sites/all/modules/gmaplocation/gmaplocation.js?r

the error points to this line in the JS file:

description = Drupal.settings.gmaplocation.info;

thanks

Translation:
Message: Object does not support this property or method.
Row: 12
Character: 5

Have yet to confirm this issue on another install.

Cannot reproduce this problem on Internet Explorer 8 on Windows XP. I only have an English install, so I suppose it is possible that there could be an issue somehow with a german language install, but that's getting pretty specific at that point and without someone else able to reproduce it a far more likely problem is there is something wrong with your system/IE8 configuration I'm afraid.

If you are continuing to have this difficulty, please ensure you can reproduce it on a fresh Drupal install with only core modules and gmaplocation installed, and list specific step-by-step instructions to reproduce the error you observed. Until that is available, closing this issue as unable to reproduce.

Hello,

It seems that it's quite easy to reproduce the bug. Add the module nodewords in order to add meta-tags and put a non-empty string in the meta-tag "description".
Then IE will define the js variable description (see http://www.phpied.com/browser-implied-globals/) and this will conflict with the code in gmaplocation.js which also uses a variable called "description".

My patch simply rename description to descr.

I'm getting a similar error in that delightful browser IE8:

I applied yaslama's patch successfully but am still getting the error.
Will keep tweaking and let you know how it goes...
