Hi Steff, David's suggestion did fix the IE 8/JSON error (at least on WinXP). Interestingly, that combination also does a "better" job of rendering the "collapsed map" than FF/WinXP.
In IE 8, when you click the "Show/Hide Map View" link, the map occupies the correct region of the page, whereas what I (and presumably you) are seeing in FF is that it occupies only about 25%. The only thing that is "wrong" in IE 8, is that the map is centered/ zoomed differently from the map that is shown when the other instance of the page initializes. -Mark On Aug 11, 8:58 am, steff <[email protected]> wrote: > Thank you David, > > I changed all links to the current version (in the collapsed-map only, > though).
