[R] error with geomap in googleVis

[Mike Marchywka]

I still got blanks with Firefox with the two examples below, I put html
up here if you want to look at it,

http://98.129.232.232/xxx.html

I just downloaded googlevis from mirror 68 and it claimed it
was 0.2.5 ( I thought, but maybe I should check again). 


install.packages("googleVis",dep=T)
library(googleVis)
df<-data.frame(foo=c("Brazil","Canada"), bar=c(123,456))
map1<-gvisGeoMap(df,locationvar='foo',numvar='bar')

cat(map1$html$header,filename="xxx.html",append=F)
cat(map1$html$header,file="xxx.html",append=F)
cat(map1$html$chart,file="xxx.html",append=T)
cat(map1$html$caption,file="xxx.html",append=T)
cat(map1$html$footer,file="xxx.html",append=T)
m<-gvisMotionChart(Fruits,idvar="Fruit",timevar="Year")
str(m)
cat(m$html$header,file="xxx.html",append=F)
cat(m$html$chart,file="xxx.html",append=T)
cat(m$html$caption,file="xxx.html",append=T)
cat(m$html$footer,file="xxx.html",append=T)

> This issue occurs with googleVis 0.2.4 and RJSONIO > 0.7.1.
> Version 0.2.5 of the googleVis package has been uploaded to CRAN two

> Further version 0.2.5 provides new interfaces to more interactive Google

> - gvisBarChart
> - gvisColumnChart
> - gvisAreaChart
> - gvisScatterChart
> - gvisPieChart
> - gvisGauge
> - gvisOrgChart
> - gvisIntensityMap
>
> Additionally a new demo 'AnimatedGeoMap' has been added which shows how
> a Geo Map can be animated with additional JavaScript. Thanks to Manoj
> Ananthapadmanabhan and Anand Ramalingam, who provided the idea and
> initial code.
