Jquery Google Maps Integration Step 7

I am having some difficulty with having the code challenge pass for the dynamic Google Map integration for the JQuery code challenge.

As far as I know, I have all the correct code, but when I go to submit it on step 7, I get an error saying Task 2 is no longer passing. When I go back to check on Task 2, it is simply adding the Google Map API key in place of the placeholder. Simple copy and paste - but when I do that, I get a null error. I tried it several times, getting to Step 7 (so the same key passed initially) only to have the Task 2 not pass error yet again.

Has anyone had this issue?

<div id="map">
<script type="text/javascript" src="https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/js?key=AIzaSyAn8fk75K8kCdW6pQ4B7yoBHJNrUbleieY&sensor=false">
</script>
<script type="text/javascript">
var mapOptions = {
      center: new google.maps.LatLng(28.42, -81.58),
      zoom: 18,
      mapTypeId: google.maps.MapTypeId.SATELLITE
 };
var mapElement = document.getElementById("map");
var theMap = new google.maps.Map(mapElement, mapOptions);
</script>
</div>

maybe to move your scripts outside DIV with ID map, wild guess

I was having the same issue and I can not seem to find a fix. My code looked exactly as the above code, and I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong
