title: Google maps (V3) - Map container selector (using jquery)
body: <p>I'm trying to solve a tricky problem in Google Maps (api V3)</p>
  
  <p>Works nicely:</p>
  
  <pre><code>var map = new google.maps.Map(document.getElementById("map_container"), myOptions);
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Doesn't Work if I try to use a jQuery selector</p>
  
  <pre><code>var map = new google.maps.Map($('#map_container'), myOptions);
  </code></pre>

  <p>Thank you in advance</p>
  
  <p>Cheers</p>
