Problem displaying maps on website

Bugreport for Sports Tracker

29-05-2009 11:25

I've noticed recently some problems with rendering NST website on my firefox 3.0.10. It simply renders only top of the page and then it stops (displaying some transfer to google on status bar). Sometimes after several refreshes page is displayed properly.
Today I tried to use Konqueror browser and I saw following alert:
"The Google Maps API server rejected your request. This could be because the API key used on this site was registered for a different web site. You can generate a new key for this web site at http://code.google.com/apis/maps/."
After clicking OK site is displayed properly on Konqueror. So my guess is that FF cannot somehow display this alert and that is why it cannot finish rendering page.
It also works fine on Firefox under windows, but there is no error there (or it is silently ignored).

Please verify if you could reproduce this problem and if your Google API key is valid.

Thanks.

My environment is: Ubuntu 9.04, Firefox 3.0.10, KDE environment

hi smalota

first of all you have to know the nst website is actually not as fast as google maps! but i think with a RC or final version of nst it will be a little bit better!

my final question to you: where did you try it out? @ office or @ home? @ office i receive also some error messages, but after clicking every load to the button "Yes", it works fine!

Described problem happens only @office. The problem is that on my Firefox this error dialog doesn't appear at all and page rendering never finishes. On Konqueror browser error dialog appears and as you described after clicking OK site works properly.

It also works fine on Firefox on windows so probably the problem is not so important but I thought that maybe fixing this API key issue will solve my problem.
