[OpenLayers-Users] Map doesn't load in Internet Explorer

[J. Brian Adams]

Thanks for your help.

After scrutinizing my code I realized that this was not a problem with  
OpenLayers as such. Instead it was the issue mentioned (about  
extraneous punctuation.) but it was that I had an extra semi colon on  
the last line of each group in my style sheets.
