best place to put your map code?

Posted: August 28th, 2008, 6:45pm CEST by Widgets

Is better to put your map code in the header as a script or in the

If it is in the header, you have to certain functions within an
overall function to be called on load in the body. <body
onload="functionname()">

But if its in the body you dont need to do that...

Is one better than the other, more efficient than the other...or just
