 By adding these lines to the getBoxOffsets method the map will no longer
 shift in IE8.  I could not determine why the map was shifting without this
 change...maybe scrollbars were being temporarily created...but certainly
 with this seemingly harmless change the issue was resolved.  Set
 testDiv.style.top = testDivstyle.left = -9999 before adding the div to the
 document.


     getBoxOffsets: function() {
         if (!this.boxOffsets) {
             // Determine the box model. If the testDiv's clientWidth is 3,
 then
             // the borders are outside and we are dealing with the w3c box
             // model. Otherwise, the browser uses the traditional box
 model and
             // the borders are inside the box bounds, leaving us with a
             // clientWidth of 1.
             var testDiv = document.createElement("div");
             //testDiv.style.visibility = "hidden";
 here ->     testDiv.style.top = -9999;
 here ->     testDiv.style.left = -9999;
             testDiv.style.position = "absolute";
             testDiv.style.border = "1px solid black";
