[OpenLayers-Users] ZoomToExtent works in Firefox, Safari and IE7, but not in IE6

Wed May 27 01:57:39 EDT 2009

IE6 compatibility is a mess, no matter what you are dealing with.

I feel your pain.

My first suggestion would be to try to convince your client that IE6
compatibility is unnecessary.

If that fails, try to find something that works with IE6.  Anything.  Do
whatever you can to get it to work.

Then put in a browser test in the javascript.  If the browser is IE6, use
the compatible code.  Otherwise, use the default code.
