Display Google Map in XHTML 1.0 Strict Document

Recently while working on a client’s website, they requested that I place a Google map iFrame on their “About” page. Something that looks like this:
Unfortunately, the above code that generates this nifty frame does not validate as XHTML 1.0 Strict. I did some research into it to see what can be done. Many sites suggested changing the site’s validation to XHTML Transitional, but I didn’t want to do that. Then I found this nifty article over at Ginchen’s Blog. The solution utilizes Javascript. It is a simple, clean solution and it works relatively well. The map doesn’t have all of the functionality of the original, but I think it works just fine.

Last month was not a good month for me! First, I lost my cell phone (Samsung Comeback). Luckily, a friend of mine was looking to sell her Samsung Behold so at least I wouldn’t have to go back to my previous phone, a flip without a QWERTY keyboard!
Then, when I was flying back from Tennessee, I lost one of the diamond studs that Mike gave me for our two year anniversary, 6 years ago. Hopefully we can replace it 
Lastly, I was working two days before Christmas, and I spilled a cup of tea on my laptop I use for work, a Toshiba Satellite. It was a graduation present from my parents when I finished University. I tried drying it out for a week, but it looks like it is completely dead. Luckily I have two other laptops I can use for now, but their specs aren’t as good as the Toshiba’s. One is a 2006 MacBook and the other is a 2004 Sony Vaio. Both were packing 512MB of RAM, but luckily their capacity was 2GB so I quickly upgraded those. Hopefully they can last me until I can afford a new one.
So please God, universe, whatever… please keep any badness from me! I can’t afford anymore hiccups!
Dollywood!

As you might recall, last month I had a trip to Tennessee that I was looking forward to because we would be in close proximity to Dollywood, Dolly Parton’s own amusement park.
