Yeah. I can't suggest a solution to this. This problem isn't just with OpenLayers -- the browser itself behaves differently on the three different browsers I tried it on, but in all cases, the 'frame' of the map is not pushed aside by the floated div. Contrary to my previous email, adding 'position:absolute' to the map div does actually *Fix* this problem, rathr than causing it, but I'm sure that has numerous sideeffects: I would suggest that is a potiential solution to explore. -- Chris > ~Craig > > > > Date: Mon, 23 Feb 2009 15:36:03 -0500 > From: Christopher Schmidt > > On Tue, Feb 24, 2009 at 09:31:28AM +1300, Craig Stanton wrote: > > Hi all, > > I'm new to OpenLayers but have done a lot of searching to find a > > solution to a problem I have come across straight away.
