    <p>When I load <a href="http://maps.google.com/maps/api/js?sensor=false" rel="noreferrer">http://maps.google.com/maps/api/js?sensor=false</a> in a script tag, everything works fine for me in Chrome, Safari, Firefox, and IE9.</p> <p>However, when I look in IE9 <strong>in compatibility mode</strong> (or, I'm told, in <strong>IE8</strong>) the map does not load and "'google' is undefined" is logged in the console.</p> <p>Here's the relevant code, with the line that is triggering the error identified with a comment:</p> <pre><code>&lt;html&gt; &lt;head&gt; &lt;title&gt;Test Map&lt;/title&gt; &lt;script type="application/javascript" src="http://maps.google.com/maps/api/js?sensor=false"&gt;&lt;/script&gt; &lt;/head&gt; &lt;body&gt; &lt;div id="map_canvas"&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;script type="text/javascript"&gt; var lat=37.763154; var lon=-122.457941; var initialZoom=17; var mapTypeId = 'Custom Map'; var mapStyle = [{featureType:"landscape", elementType:"all", stylers:[{hue:"#dae6c3"},{saturation:16},{lightness:-7}]}, {featureType:"road", elementType:"geometry", stylers:[{hue:"#ffffff"},{saturation:-100},{lightness:100}]}]; //**The error is tripped in this next line, again only in IE9 compatibility mode or IE8* var styledMap = new google.maps.StyledMapType(mapStyle); var mapType = new google.maps.ImageMapType({ tileSize: new google.maps.Size(256,256), getTileUrl: function(coord,zoom) { return "img/tiles/"+zoom+"/"+coord.x+"/"+coord.y+".png"; } }); var map = new google.maps.Map(document.getElementById("map_canvas"), {center:new google.maps.LatLng(lat,lon), mapTypeId:google.maps.MapTypeId.ROADMAP, zoom:initialZoom, mapTypeControl:false}); map.overlayMapTypes.insertAt(0, mapType); map.mapTypes.set(mapTypeId, styledMap); map.setMapTypeId(mapTypeId); &lt;/script&gt; &lt;/body&gt; &lt;/html&gt; </code></pre> <p>So, for some reason, and only in IE9+compatibility-mode and IE8, the script tag specifying <a href="http://maps.google.com/maps/api/js?sensor=false" rel="noreferrer">http://maps.google.com/maps/api/js?sensor=false</a> isn't loading and/or executing before the subsequent embedded script in the body.</p> <p>Are others able to replicate? How do I correct this problem?</p>

    2. COI dont think its your fault. Its just IE's compatibility mode which is blocking active scripts. (probably...)

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.

SQuiL has stopped working due to an internal error.

If you are curious you may find further information in the browser console, which is accessible through the devtools (F12).
