[OpenLayers-Users] Putting map-div in a table won't work

Tue Sep 2 14:21:02 EDT 2008

I am very new to Openlayers, so I thought I would play around with one of the
examples (the Google with overlay one).

I can get that to work OK, but then I though I'd try to position the div
where the map is show.

I tried two ways: using a stylesheet ( #map { position: ...... ) and a
table.

Neither of these things work. I just see a blank page.

Below is my code for the one I did with the table.

Can anyone tell me if I'm just doing something wrong, or does OpenLayers not
allow you to mess with the position of it's div?
