Another early Christmas present — the ability to embed Street View from Google Maps. (How many days of Christmas are there again?):
“Out of my way, Cubs fans — got to get to the Metro to see my buddy’s band!”
Publishing embeddable Maps and Street View is easy through the Google Maps interface — and if you run a WordPress web site, think about including a button that pops-up Google Maps directly from the WordPress editing interface.
Note: I’m noticing that Street View is currently under extreme demand — probably because of this release. You might see a blank area, but right-clicking to view source when this happens shows the following message: “We’re sorry, street view is currently unavailable due to high demand.” (Perhaps that should be visible instead? Then again, it could also be that I’m in IE.)

While designing our website and embedding a streetview, I noticed that IE 6 and 7 will display the image only once. If you navigate away and go back, it will not display again. Deleting the browser temp files and refreshing the page will bring it back once more. It does the same thing on this page: http://www.remotesensingtools.com/2007/12/11/embed-street-view-google-maps/
It works fine in Firefox. I have not been able to find a way to correct this.

You’ll have to take this issue up with Microsoft, as Internet Explorer is a product of Microsoft.
I cannot be one to comment on why it is that they continue to have issues in relation to not following compliance standards in regards to their browser.
