would there be a way to write a search bar for directions from a starting address, such as:

http://maps.google.com/maps?q=from%3ASTARTINGADDRESS+to%3A%s

where you enter a destination address and it pops up directions?

i can't seem to figure it out. any help would be appreciated

Thanks for the about:config tip. I was also having the blank Google maps problem and I fixed it by going to about:config and changing dom.disable_image_src_set to false
(Somehow in trying to disable javascript animation I set it to true.)

That's strange…it works fine for me. Does it work in IE? Check your Firefox prefs.? A few months ago I was playing around with the pipelining preferece and found that it would break Google Maps in all sorts of interesting ways.

To check it out, put 'about:config' in the address bar and make sure that 'network.http.pipelining' is set to 'false'.

When I click on a Google map link in Firefox, the map window is blank. For example:
http://maps.google.com/maps?oi=map&q=New+Braunfels,+TX

Also, Yahoo Maps won't zoom in or out in Firefox.
