Problem with google maps on IE + pop up layer

Question

Hi,

I'm using a jQuery plug-in "Boxy" (http://onehackoranother.com/projects/jquery/boxy/) to open a pop-up layer and show a map on it. It works perfectly on all browsers except IE (7 & 8). Some elements like shadow of the marker & infoWindow are transparent, so that you can see background of the page.

Here's the test page: http://kostik.de/maps/create.html (click "edit" to open pop up, then watch Marker and InfoWindow-shadow).

any idea anyone?...

Answer 1

The border around the infoWindow is an issue with Boxy, it doesn't work on IE8 from their demos either. Maybe you can try a different lightbox plugin - Facebox looks like one that is similar to the style you're after and it works in IE. You might want to look at this StackOverflow post for info about the transparent PNGs in IE.
