Thanks Larry, that fixed it. For others that may run into this problem, compatibility mode is truned on from the client side by navigating to the site that is having the problem and going to Tools>Compatibility View in IE 8 to enable compatibility view for for that site.
However, web site designers will not want their users to have to do this from the client side. To turn on the view from within the html you need to add a tag like this to the html page <meta http-equiv="X- UA-Compatible" content="IE=EmulateIE7"/> Here are a couple of links to more information on this: http://blogs.msdn.com/mikeormond/archive/2008/09/25/ie-8-compatibility-meta-tags-http-headers-user-agent-strings-etc-etc.aspx http://support.microsoft.com/kb/960321 Murray On Jul 18, 9:33 pm, "[email protected]" <[email protected]> wrote: > On Jul 18, 8:21 pm, murraysmith <[email protected]> wrote: > > > I copied the html from the Map Events Arguments sample to my web site > > to try running it from there.
