Thanks for your fast response, Ross. This particular transparency trick also works in IE6 - IE6 does not support png alpha transparency but works fine with CSS filter transparency. The opacity css property does not work in IE and the filter property is IE-only, hence that we always set both. The idea of using the transparency in this case is to give some visual feedback while the map is being refreshed. Javascript processing is quite slow on IE before version 8, and the user will have to wait much longer than in other browser types. I tried using the animated gif indicator in the top left corner of the page for the same, but while IE is busy processing the overlays it does not animate the gif either.
Anyway, I have commented out the transparency/opacity trick for the map (function GMapSetMapOpacity() in DecosGMap.js) and surprisingly the infoText popup now works fine. I would never have guessed that the two would be related - thanks a lot for your help!
