Hi, and thanks for your kind response.
Actually, I was able to find the source of the error. It had nothing to do with the space between the geo coordinates, FYI. But it had to do with another geo locator component that I had installed and was experimenting with. When I decided I ContentMap was my best solution, I uninstalled the other component and by doing so, it disrupted the functionality of ContentMap as described in my earlier post. Perhaps that explains the missing Javascript? Re-installing the other component didn't help, but when I reinstalled a recent backup version containing both the other component and ContentMap, ContentMap functions beautifully. So I will not rock the boat with this other component -- I merely disabled it as opposed to uninstalling it and everything is fine.
Temperamental Joomla, eh?
Well, thanks again.
