I get markers in Firefox. I think the issue is that browsers can arbitrarily resize divs depending on the content. The one which you have found in Firefox contains a link which is the width of the infoWindow -- I assume that the browser has ignored the maxWidth setting in order to fit the link in. IE may break links differently when it's constructing the infoWindow content, so the content divs get different widths. And IE is notorious for doing this. Firefox is a lot better. My recommended way around the issue would be to use descriptive text for the destination of the link (between <a>...</a>) instead of repeating the URL. Text usually consists of short words which the browser will be able to format in the width you specify. If you wanted, you could use the "title" attribute for <a> to show the URL as a tooltip. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Google Maps API V2" group.
