Question

I’m trying to develop a Store Locator (using Google Maps v3 API), that’s located in an expandable div. However, the map is not showing up properly (see link below). I’m a newbie to jQuery in general, so this is all a bit new to me.

I know there’s a conflict though. As when I remove the ready function for the expandable div, the map will show up properly. But not with the call there.

All the code can be found here:

Is it a jQuery conflict? If so, how do I fix it?

The #map element must be visible in the page…

So you need to put the initialization code in the callback to the slideToggle.

$(document).ready(function() {

    //Hide (Collapse) the toggle containers on load
    $(".toggle_container").hide();

    //Switch the "Open" and "Close" state per click then slide up/down (depending on open/close state)
    $("h9.trigger").click(function() {
        $(this).toggleClass("active").next().slideToggle("slow", function() {
            if ($(this).is(':visible')) {
                map = InitMap(null, 'map', centerCoord, true); // initialize the map on default location
            }
        });
        return false; //Prevent the browser jump to the link anchor
    });

    handle_clicks(); // click events handling by jQuery    
});
