[OpenLayers-Dev] IE 7 / 8 error: appendChild not supported

[Cédric Moullet]

Hi,
Yes, the explanation is quite clear:
http://tamentis.com/doc/no_such_interface/

<http://tamentis.com/doc/no_such_interface/>But, unfortunately, the solution
is probably not so obvious, since it implies to create all dom elements of
the child window with this child window. So, this means to modify the 14
function "document.createElement" of the OpenLayers code base:

if (childWindow) {
   childWindow.createElement
} else {
   document.createElement
}

For my case, I can probably create a new clone function for the layers.
But, in general, does it make sense to support in OpenLayers this IE problem
(in other word: is it worth trying to make an OL patch) ?
Thanks,
Cédric
