Error in IE8 using Google Maps "undefined is null or not an object"
I have created a sample here to show the issue....

http://bit.ly/j2nb1k

The code is js so you can see it in full.  In any modern browser including IE9 it works fine.  But I get an annoying "undefined is null or not an object" if you load this in IE8 or below.

What am I missing here?
