[OpenLayers-Users] mouse cursor position when using e.g. EditingToolbar

[Lehtonen, Mika]

Answering to myself:

Now, after a while, when I started to dig this again and wrote something 
down, I realized that I had style setting:
html, body {margin: 10px; ........}
on my html. Removing html from that setting fixed my problem although IE 
is still a bit inaccurate on this issue. I can live with it (and without 
it.. ;-) ).

Sorry for mailing my problems without first checking and double checking 
my code.
