Thanks for everyone's help with this. I have a related question now,
though it's not about GMaps persay. In my javascript, I often create
instances of a sprite DOM object:
function makeSprite(filename) {
var div = dec('div');
div.className = 'sprite ' + filename;
return div;
}
Each time I do this, IE6 pings the server and gets back a 304. Is
there any way to avoid the 304 and make IE use the cached image?
Dozens of round trips are killing me.
