I should have tested IE before posting the previous workaround, but
here is the workaround to counter the error from IE - Object doesn't
support this property or method:
if(navigator.appName == 'Microsoft Internet Explorer')
{
directionsDiv.attachEvent('onclick', function(event){
mWorkAroundIE();
});
}
else
{
directionsDiv.addEventListener(event, 'click', function(event){
mWorkAround();
});
}
function mWorkAroundIE()
{
if(firstTimeOnPage == 1)
{
// alert('gets here');
var seT = setTimeout("mWorkAroundWaitIE()", 250);
}
}
function mWorkAroundWaitIE()
{
var mStart = document.getElementById('start');
mStart.focus();
mStart.select();
var tempZ = map.getZoom();
map.setZoom(parseInt(tempZ-1));
firstTimeOnPage++;
}
And it works in all the browsers that I have tested on Mac and Win
(Safari (Mac), FF, Opera and IE(Win));
