I recently purchased the Google Maps, Autocomplete, and Directions add on. I have been able to get the map with marker and directions to work properly on the source page; however, when I include that page on the main template, it does not show the map, nor does the Search (autocomplete) function work. When I call the source page (contact include page), the map works as it should. I have scrubbed this to the best of my ability and cannot figure it out. Can you please help?www.vernalmotocross.com/index.php?page=contact (autocomplete, map, directions do not display or function)
workhttp://www.vernalmotocross.com/Includes/contact.php (direct link to "contact page", everything works as it should)
I'm stumped and really appreciate your help!

I have repeated the problem on another page (but still haven't figured out the answer to fix it).
When I created another map on a different "includes" page, and called that includes file, it doesn't show that map either. However, when I pull that includes page into the browser by itself (outside the parent page), it displays the map as it should . . . so I'm pretty sure it must have something to do with the <head> on the parent page . . . just can't figure out what . . . but still trying.
Thanks again in advance for your help in helping me to get this working . . .

SOLUTION / PROBLEM FIXED: Hey gang, Miro from tech support nailed this (in no time I might mention) . . . here's the solution:
I pulled a map with auto complete (included page) into my main page. My main page was using the Nivo slider so it loaded the jquery pack: <script type="text/javascript" src="../ScriptLibrary/jquery-latest.pack.js"></script> in the head.
Because my map page was created using the DMXzone extension, it called for the same file in the header (<script type="text/javascript" src="../ScriptLibrary/jquery-latest.pack.js"></script>
.
Niro identified that it was loading this script a second time (from the included map page) which caused the problem. I removed the script from the head of my included page a whola!, it works as it should!
Great job Niro! He provided this solution before I could take three sips of my coffee during a tech chat session - that's what I call customer service!
On a side note, I have many extensions from DMXzone and from their competitors. I say this honestly: DMXzone extensions are far better than the other extensions I've used because they're lean, easy to use, and won't lock up Dreamweaver.

That's an interesting point. Is there a recommended sequence of links for Dmxzone extensions together with all the other linked files? I am sure I am getting the same problem with the google maps/Ajax auto/Directions.
