[OpenLayers-Users] VML.js issue with document.namespaces call

[Mike Quentel]

As Jeff Dege describes in an earlier post, indeed,
placing the map initialisation function call in the
body onload event solves the problem.  Anyone that
might have a work-around or better solution, please do
share; I'd like to know how I might get around this
limitation if I were ever attempting to put VML
capability in an OL client running in a portlet.  

Thank you Christopher for pointing to the earlier
post.  Many thanks to Jeff for describing the solution
in his post.

This might be a good item to include in the FAQ.
