I am reposting this because it somehow got linked with an existing
thread, rather than starting a new one.

Sometime ago, about a year I think, I built an OpenLayers page to
capture a mouse click as lon-lat and pass it to a form. I could swear
that I tested it in IE as well as Firefox, although Firefox is what I
normally use. I was just looking at the site in these two browsers and
it is still working fine in Firefox, but there is a glitch in IE (the
"latest" version, whatever that is- it appears to be impossible to
actually figure that out from the browser window). A click event causes
a marker and pop-up window to be displayed - in IE the marker is
displaced from the click location if [CTRL+] or {CTRL-] have been used
to adjust the zoom level of the webpage. The lon-lat values actually
agree with the marker location, not the original click location. I
checked on the OpenLayers website and found some code for handling click
events that was somewhat different than the sample code that I had
followed when I first built the site, but there was no change in the
problem.
The pages are given by URLs

and
http://www.alt2is.com/imcwma/copy/php/weedpoints_database/map/index7b.php
(the modified version based on newer example)
The code involved in setting the lon-lat object is:
var lonlat = map.getLonLatFromPixel(new OpenLayers.Pixel(evt.xy.x ,
evt.xy.y) );
OR
var lonlat = map.getLonLatFromViewPortPx(e.xy);
Is there some way to get this operation to be robust to the IE zoom level?
Thanks, Tara
