[OpenLayers-Users] Re: SelectFeature when using IE<9 or IE9 Compatibility View

[Andreas Hocevar]

Hi Peter,

the example to test this is
http://openlayers.org/dev/examples/styles-rotation.html (hover over
features to see the SelectFeature control in action). For what it's
worth, it works fine in both IE8 and IE9 for me. The thing with IE9
and vector rendering is that you really shouldn't be using
compatibility mode. If you do so, neither VML nor SVG work properly.

Andreas.
