the task is : Set the "theMap" to a new google.maps namespaced "Map" object with the parameters of "mapElement" and "mapOptions"

everything seems to be ok but I keep getting the error that previous tasks are no longer passing, which doesnt make sense

Not sure if that will work. I tried with a couple different browsers and on the iOS app, still no luck. For what its worth, the code you have, is correct. :)

Sometimes when I've made a sytax error, etc I will get a previous task not passing error.

thanx lonnie, but it turns out its a bug in the software, hopefully they'll fix it soon cause I want my badge :P

:) I propose a strike
