[OpenLayers-Users] map with position:absolute not displayed in ie <= 7

[Nathan Gerber]

Arno,

I have also encountered this issue. The solution I came up with was to
switch the div to position:fixed and to have a helper JavaScript function to
resize the div every time the window changed size. If you plan on having
items on the page other than just the map you may need to adjust your CSS
positioning for those items as well if you end up going this route.

function windowResize() {
        /* Do Resizing events through JavaScript */
        /* Detect Height and Width of page */
        /* Do whatever adjustments you wish to add to the height and width,
then set to the div */
        /* div.style.top = "0px"; // How far from the top you wish the div
to start at
        div.style.left = "200px"; // How far from the left you wish the div
to start at
        div.style.height = newHeight+"px";
        div.style.width = newHeight+"px";*/
}
window.onresize = windowResize;
