Handler/Box.js - Causing map to shift when calculating boxOffsets in IE8

[ca0v]

By adding these lines to the getBoxOffsets method the map will no longer shift in IE8. I could not determine why the map was shifting without this change...maybe scrollbars were being temporarily created...but certainly with this seemingly harmless change the issue was resolved. Set testDiv.style.top = testDivstyle.left = -9999 before adding the div to the document.

getBoxOffsets: function() {

if (!this.boxOffsets) {

// Determine the box model. If the testDiv's clientWidth is 3, then // the borders are outside and we are dealing with the w3c box // model. Otherwise, the browser uses the traditional box model and // the borders are inside the box bounds, leaving us with a // clientWidth of 1. var testDiv = document.createElement("div"); //testDiv.style.visibility = "hidden";

here -> testDiv.style.top = -9999; here -> testDiv.style.left = -9999;

testDiv.style.position = "absolute"; testDiv.style.border = "1px solid black";

I'm interested to know in what OL version the problem occurs, and there are regressions from past releases.

This problem exists in 2.11 and SVN..can't comment on earlier versions.
