 * Hello all,
 * I’m trying to embed a customised Google Map into my blog by using the embed HTML
   provided by Google Maps:
 *     ```
       <iframe height="500" scrolling="no" width="425" frameBorder="0" src=" http://maps.google.com/maps/ms?ie=UTF8&amp;hl=en&amp;om=1&amp;s=AARTsJqapklHpEVweLkdXHVvflkdrtY60g&amp;msa=0&amp;msid=103233348724983297146.000440cd0ffe328768137&amp;ll=25.284438,75.541992&amp;spn=19.790476,18.676758&amp;z=5&amp;output=embed " marginHeight="0" marginWidth="0"></iframe>
       <small><a href=" http://maps.google.com/maps/ms?ie=UTF8&amp;hl=en&amp;om=1&amp;msa=0&amp;msid=103233348724983297146.000440cd0ffe328768137&amp;ll=25.284438,75.541992&amp;spn=19.790476,18.676758&amp;z=5&amp;source=embed " style="color: #0000ff; text-align: left">View Larger Map</a></small>
       ```
   
 * When I paste this into the code, I’m able to preview the map perfectly fine, 
   but I can no longer edit the blog at ALL.
 * I have tried using this code on both versions 2.3 and 2.3.1. using Firefox.
 * I tried embedding this code using version 2.3 on Internet Explorer, and what 
   do you know.. it’s fine on there!
 * I’m aware that there’s a Google Map WordPress plugin available ([http://avi.alkalay.net/2006/11/google-maps-plugin-for-wordpress.html](http://avi.alkalay.net/2006/11/google-maps-plugin-for-wordpress.html)),
   however this currently only allows for maps with multiple markers, not maps with
   lines for instance. It also won’t show the distance between 2 points, which can
   be seen if using the HTML from Google Maps.
 * So currently, I’m having to use Internet Explorer and 2.3 to use the code above.
   Why does this bug exist on Firefox and not on Internet Explorer?
 * Any information would be greatly appreciated!
 * Many thanks,
    Tanya

 * I’m having the exact same problem, WP v. 2.3.1. Works in IE but not Firefox. 
   Any ideas???
 * I know there are good google maps plugins out there but I always prefer to avoid
   using more than is necessary, especially since I only want to display 1 simple
   map.
