Map not displaying when accessed

I have this HTML file(below) Which is almost identical to the one found here. https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/javascript/examples/infowindow-simple

My issue I'm am having is I see nothing wrong with any of the script portion or HTML, then again I'm writing this for a non-profit as a volunteer and I don't normally do this HTML or javascript. This file is generated by a perl script so please be easy on me.

Let me know what i did wrong please!

JavaScript is case-sensitive. new google.maps.Latlng(-77.675106,43.090076) is supposed to be new google.maps.LatLng(-77.675106,43.090076) anddocument.getElementByID('map-canvas') should be document.getElementById('map-canvas'). Personally, I don't like to type google.maps or use document.getElementById(), so I do this:

var doc = document, bod = document.body, gm = google.maps;
function E(e){
  return doc.getElementById(e);
}
var myHome = new gm.LatLng(-77.675106,43.090076);
var canvas = E('map-canvas'); // same as document.getElementById('map-canvas');
