[OpenLayers-Users] strange click events with internet explorer

[percy]

This sounds similar to a problem I had last October. I think it was 
fixed in version 2.2, I'll paste the email below...

that fixed it, thanks!

any idea when 2.2 will become the "stable" release?

I just got the SVN version out yesterday and was playing with that SWEET
new MousePosition control. I need to wait to put that on our production
server until it gets blessed, though.

Thanks again for the groovy interface,
Percy
