[OpenLayers-Users] getLonLatFromPixel in IE

Tue May 25 07:02:46 EDT 2010

Hello everyone,

Please check the code below. This is a very simple map with an event
listener that shows the coordinates when you click on it. It works on every
know web browser in the world, Firefox, Opera, Chrome, except for ... yes
you guessed it, Internet Explorer!

Is there any work around for this? Is it worth to dedicate time to this? Is
OpenLayers supposed to work with IE?

Thank you,

Luís
