I'm doing a redesign on a clients website and would love to use some jQuery plugins to make it less dull. One the home page however there is a Google Map with various locations on it that it reads off of a external file. These locations it also places in a list next to the map, which you can click on and it will take you to that location. When i add jQuery to that page simple like:

<script type="text/javascript" src="js/jquery-1.4.2.min.js"></script>

.. the map doesn't even load. So i tried to break the code apart to try to find which function might be causing the problem. I did not write the code, but cant seem to contact the original author. The file which contains the problem is very long.. and with all the spaces and break-lines removed, its extremely annoying to search through.

My question is if there is anyone who is willing to help me out with this by looking over the code?

Thanks in advance!
