version 1.0.4 Google_Map problem

[Hitman911]

In this version (version 1.0.4) when i use the code of geocoder documentation in yii siteweb when i use the yahoo driver it work perfectly
but when i change the driver to google and sure i change the appropriate key for a google map api the extension don't work, and using firebug i can see that the content DIV is created but it's hidden

Caused by browser not recognizing div content as a block. Confirming bug for potential feature addition to specify width and height of dive.

This is not *technically* a bug with the extension itself. This is caused because the browser does not recognize the contents of the "div" as a block item. Because it is not recognized as a block item it is given no default height and does not display. Here is the fastest solution for you to use.

Create a new CSS style:
#map_canvas {
    width: 500px;
    height: 300px;
}

That will force the browser to give the div a width/height and the contents of the div will show up. I have run into this same thing before with map generation before, I don't know why I didn't think to document the behavior.

I will update the documentation on the Yii website to make a note of this behavior. I also have created a feature request for the ability to specify the width & height of the map canvas div when you render the map.
