[OpenLayers-Dev] Format.GeoJSON doesn't load features in IE

[Alexandre Dube]

Hi,

   I guess everyone is busy at FOSS4G and I understand that.  Since I'm 
unable to log on the trac system, here's a patch to fix the following 
issue :

   With current trunk version, when using OpenLayers.Format.GeoJSON with 
a geojson string containing "FeatureCollection", in IE it can't load any 
features.  See a live example showing the issue [1].  The json string 
contains 1 feature.  In Firefox, when alerting obj.features.length we 
get "1" but in IE we get "2", thus resulting in an error and "null" is 
returned instead of the features.

   The attached patch resolves the issue. but it's more kinda of a 
"plaster" instead of a "remedy" (it's still bleeding, but we don't see 
it).  Any better solution would be welcomed.  See the same example as 
before with the fix [2].

   Please, let me know when the trac issue is fixed and I'll open a 
ticket for this bug.
