another option is to make the document load in quirks mode, and IE8 will display it ok. The easiest way to do that is getting rid of the <!DOCTYPE html>
I think the overlay transparency issue is a serious problem with IE8, and it's worth starring the issue to raise the priority of a fix. The only other issue I am aware of with IE8 is when you have large numbers of markers (more than 50) and the document is in IE8 Standards Mode: http://code.google.com/p/gmaps-api-issues/issues/detail?id=2415 Since the API is now up to version 3.2.0, that means the fixes for these IE8 bugs won't be in the stable 3.1 version. There will be a new stable release every 3 months or so. That's a problem for production websites which need to use stable code, and cannot use "quirks" mode rendering without a DOCTYPE, so I guess forcing IE7 mode is the best compromise: <meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=EmulateIE7" /> ... -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Google Maps JavaScript API v3" group.
