Polyline and polygon not showing in Google Maps for IE8 or IE7

I am drawing polylines and polygons on Google Maps. They show up correctly in Internet Explorer 9, but not in IE8 or IE7. I have come across a few posts that talk about a "hanging comma" problem with arrays that was fixed in IE9, and it might be related to the problem I'm having, but I don't see how I would run into that situation because of how my code works. I create "google.maps.LatLng" objects and "push" them into an array. I pass the array as the "path" parameter in creating a "google.maps.Polygon" object. I don't have any code that builds the array by inserting commas between items in a list. 

var polygonPoints = new Array();

var point1 = new google.maps.LatLng(myLat1, myLong1); 
polygonPoints.push(point1);
var point2 = new google.maps.LatLng(myLat2, myLong2); 
polygonPoints.push(point2);
var point3 = new google.maps.LatLng(myLat3, myLong3); 
polygonPoints.push(point3);

var myPolygon = new google.maps.Polygon({
    path: polygonPoints,
    strokeColor: "#FFFF00",
    strokeOpacity: 1.0, strokeWeight: 2, 
    fillOpacity: 0.0
});

How can I get the polygon to show in IE8 and IE7? (Polylines don't show either, but markers do.)

Now it works in IE7 and IE8 as well as most other browsers. Hopefully this will be helpful to someone else!

hi MylesRip ! I load google map in iframe, but i can't load polygon. In case, I not use iframe, it work normaly. The reason I use iframe because I need to avoid broken map when print

This took some experimentation, but I figured it out. The fix was to change the following line: 

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">

to this: 

<!DOCTYPE html>

Now it works in IE7 and IE8 as well as most other browsers. Hopefully this will be helpful to someone else!
