[OpenLayers-Users] Mouseclick position in IE6

[Frank Broniewski]

Ok problem already solved ... it was indeed a css bug in IE6, namely the 
infamous hasLayout property was set to false in the main content div and that 
caused the problem with the wrong click position calculation.
#content had margins, but no width or height associated. And the margins for 
left and right had the same value as the misalignment from pixel click 
calculation. Assigning a width per javascript solves the wrong calculation.

Maybe this info is useful to someone else ...
