First, here's the site where I'm having these problems: http://www.healthypetmobilevet.com/area.shtml
Does anyone know if it's possible to get the map div to be centered on the same place when printed? I checked this on FireFox 3, IE 7, Opera 9.64, and Safari 3.2 (all running on Windows) and they basically have the same problem. On some the effect is more severe, though. Another problem I saw when doing this--the polygons on my map are in the incorrect location under IE7 when printed, even though they're correct when displayed. And when printed from Opera, the polygons completely disappear! The best looking print seems to come from Safari, though the map still isn't perfectly centered. I'm starting to get a little concerned about the IE7 problems, considering how many people use IE6/7. I suppose I should really check it on IE6 too since it makes up ~17% of my recent visits. Maybe this is a problem with my CSS, but it does seem to re-size the map div the way I asked (100% of the containing div). I'm really concerned with the screwed-up polygons in IE7. Anyone have some insight on getting printouts to look decent with Google maps? And should I set up a demonstration page to see how print media styling affects Google maps without all the other content, or is my current page enough to see the problem? -Brian On Apr 14, 10:59 pm, Brian P <[email protected]> wrote: > I wonder if anyone can answer this for me.
