IE7 having issues displaying features consistently

Same issue I guess:

The problem applies for IE 6,7 and 8 as well.

I followed the instructions as described in #22 (http://drupal.org/node/609092). And the maps are actually now showing in IE.

BUT when adding polygons, points etc. they don't show in IE just like zzolo mentions (in FF they do show). It seems though that they (the points) are registered as they appear in the WKT field but they do not show on the map.

Context: I use the 2.8 hosted version on D6.14.

Any one who knows how to solve this?

chiming in with the same issue. i've tried beta4 and the current -dev, no difference. the base map comes up fine in IE (i'm looking at IE8 at the moment), and the points do appear if i scroll or zoom. map is 100% fine in safari and firefox. i've checked the page with firebug and don't have any errors.

right now i'm looking for *any* way, no matter how hackish, to force the map or vector layer to redraw in IE. i know the object ID, but it doesn't respond to the openlayers functions redraw() and refresh().

>Drupal.settings.openlayers.maps['openlayers-views-map-auto-id-where_today'].layers.openlayers_views_layer_where_today
>> Object
>Drupal.settings.openlayers.maps['openlayers-views-map-auto-id-where_today'].layers.openlayers_views_layer_where_today.type
>> Vector
>Drupal.settings.openlayers.maps['openlayers-views-map-auto-id-where_today'].layers.openlayers_views_layer_where_today.refresh() 
>> TypeError: Result of expression [...] is not a function.

in desperation i've also tried using jquery to click a map control but haven't gotten that to work either.

I'm getting the same issues as above.

Using a fullscreen map, and with the fix from #22 (http://drupal.org/node/609092) I get the map to display, but points don't appear until you manually move the map.

However, if I remove the <?php print $styles; ?> element from the page template then the points appear.

Well I narrowed it down to having another html img tag or css background image on the page for me.

Had to resort to using $("myelement").html('my images') to place the images in after the map had loaded.

muhleder: note that IE has a 31 stylesheet limit. If you're approaching that limit, keep it in mind, and aggregating CSS files might be a fix.

Anyway, 2.x uses redrawVectors (here's the code) after pageload if the browser detected is IE, since I've encountered this problem before.

It wasn't to do with the stylesheet limit in IE, I removed all stylesheets and placed my styles in the head to debug. Whenever I specified a background image for a div on the page, the points failed (until you moved the map). Also the same failure if I used an image instead of a div with a background.

The (now working, fingers crossed) map is here if anyone wants to take a look at how I got my one to work.

Good to hear it's fixed in 2.

Thanks,

Marking this as a bug. I'll see if I can implement tmcw's redrawVectors for 1.0 .

for me it has gone away in ie7 and ie8, but not ie6 (so, it's not really an issue for me anymore).

what changed was that previously i was doing some other openlayers stuff on a different page (not using the drupal module), and when i got rid of some code creating a new vector layer, my openlayers-module view (on a totally different page) started working better. i was happy to simply have it working again, so i haven't tried to figure out why that helped.
