I have created a Google Map API and I would like to open it in a new tab(Window). May I know what's wrong with my code? I can open a new tab, but I can't display the Google Map.

Below are my code. Thanks!

    function newWindow() 

    { 

     var myLatlng = new google.maps.LatLng(0.7,40);

     var myOptions = 

        {

         zoom: 2,

         center: myLatlng,

         mapTypeId: google.maps.MapTypeId.HYBRID

        };

    map = new google.maps.Map(document.getElementById(map_canvas),

    myOptions);

    }

window.open() takes a URL as a parameter. Your newWindow() function does not return anything, let alone a URL.

You need to call window.open() with a valid URL passed in, which takes care of setting up the map itself.

If you're going to attach an event handler inline, do it right:

<a onclick=window.open('some_url_here'); return false;>...</a>.

That said, in the interest of unobtrusive JavaScript, you should really attach JS event handlers using your external JS code.

Perhaps you want to open your map in a modal dialog instead?
