[OpenLayers-Users] IE registers click postion with an offset to the left

[Nico Mandery]

Hi Christopher,

I just found that the problem was caused by a "position: relative;" on
an outer Div - so its not directly related to OpenLayers at all.

I will keep your hint in mind for when I enconter another issue.

thanks,
nico
