Considering that I didn’t use anything too modern for Firefox, I’ll take the wild guess that you’re using a [very] old version of Firefox. Maybe it would be time for you to update?

NOT working… Using firefox and I dont see anything.
I don’t get it, skipping through demos, not seeing anything remotely close to a map.
Another one of those “best viewed on MY computer”…

Great work! Mind if we package this into a WordPress theme?

Thanks for the nice thoughts! I wouldn’t be too worried about it. It’s a nice technique, but nothing so earth shattering that suddenly everyone and their grandma will start doing.

Yeah, I guess you could. But, then, where would be the “cool” factor? Not to mention the added UX.

This is a seriously cool “trick” and I just may have an appropriate use for it on an upcoming project Hopefully, the whole world doesn’t start doing this or it will not be unique. Still, Good job and I hope you get tons of traffic on this one.

Couldn’t you do this a lot simpler by just using the Static Maps API? Then it’s one line in your CSS. (Of course, it isn’t interactive.

Excellent technique. That could be combined with KML data and images?
Thanks for sharing
