I am trying to optimize the usage of the google mas API and have come to an interesting cunundrum. To give greater feed back to the user I am opening the info window using:
marker.openInfoWindowHtml(//loader code//)
when the user click on the marker. I am loading the infoWindow content via AJAX so after the initial open of the window I use:
map.updateInfoWindow(infoTabs)
I style these with a little CSS. All good.
In FF, this works great. the initial window is just over 200px wide and re-sizes when updated with content.
In IE(6 & 7) the initial window fills the entire width of the map area untl the update is run and then displays correctly at about 300px. Any ideas on what might be causing that? I have set explicit sizes on the div's surrounding the loader, but nothing works.
