With the getTile() function, are you generating an IMG tag with the SRC of your tile images, or are you using CSS and setting the size of the tile and background-image to your tile images?
If you aren't doing either of them, try doing them. If you are doing one already, try the other. The results are a little different for each, and one may give you better luck. Be sure to include a link to your code so we can see specifics directly. Thanks.
