Problem Solved!
Basically I was attempting to change the image of a hidden marker when
caused IE6 to display a black layer over much of the browser window.
Before, I had this code:
redMarkers[dealer].setImage("/images/marker_red_dot.png");
redMarkers[dealer].show();
which caused IE 6 to choke (i.e. though IE7, FireFox and Google Chrome
didn't care)
When I reversed the above two lines of code to:
redMarkers[dealer].show();
redMarkers[dealer].setImage("/images/marker_red_dot.png");
everything worked fine in IE6.
