[OpenLayers-Users] Error displaying map in IE8 - VML.js

[soatley]

In case anyone else runs into this, I found out that after the map is
created, it sometimes doesn't set a height or width value in the map.size
property.  Here's my fix which seems to work quite nicely:

 map = new OpenLayers.Map('map', options);
if (isNaN(map.size.w) || isNaN(map.size.h)) {
            map.updateSize();
        }
