I am new to JS, and have found the answer to a previous question, which brought up a new question, which brought me here again.

I have a Reveal Modal that contains a Google Map API. When a button is clicked, the Reveal Modal pops up, and displays the Google Map. My problem is that only a third of the map is displaying. This is because a resize trigger needs to be implemented. My question is how do I implement the google.maps.event.trigger(map, 'resize')? Where do I place this little snippet of code?

The Reveal Model script:

<script type="text/javascript">
  $(document).ready(function() {
  $('#myModal1').click(function() {
  $('#myModal').reveal();
       });
          });
 </script>

My Google Map Script:

<script type="text/javascript">
 function initialize() {
 var mapOptions = {
 center: new google.maps.LatLng(39.739318, -89.266507),
 zoom: 5,
 mapTypeId: google.maps.MapTypeId.ROADMAP
 };
 var map = new google.maps.Map(document.getElementById("map_canvas"),
 mapOptions);
 }

 </script>

The div which holds the Google Map:

  <div id="myModal" class="reveal-modal large">
  <h2>How to get here</h2>
  <div id="map_canvas" style="width:600px; height:300px;"></div>
  <a class="close-reveal-modal">&#215;</a>
 </div>
