I can cook up an example later if you wish, however, I believe I have found the solution. Googling helped me locate this:
http://www.webmasterworld.com/javascript/3542087.htm It appears that if an element is doesn't have a background color (and is absolutely positioned as well???) IE 6 will not fire mouse events for that element. With my map I was putting divs with no background color in the G_MAP_MARKER_MOUSE_TARGET_PANE so that I could intercept mouse events at that level, above my content drawn in a lower pane. As the info. in the link above suggests, I was able to get things to work on IE 6 by putting a transparent gif within my div. Now the div fires events as expected. I haven't found a better solution to this problem - I wonder how gmaps solves this problem as I believe they are using a div with no background color in the G_MAP_MARKER_MOUSE_TARGET_PANE for handling mouse events on the GMarker. IE 6, when will you die? On Jan 17, 1:32 pm, "warden [Andrew Leach - Maps API Guru]" <[email protected]> wrote: > On Jan 17, 9:57 pm, "David J.
