Just curious, has anyone noticed in IE 7 that small lines appear in the datapoint bubble? On the same computer using Firefox this does not occur? The site is www.lapidarysource.com, visit the contact us page. Any ideas?

I have the same problem. my website is http://www.ideafancy.com I've figured out it is not necessarily a problem with the GoMap module. I wrote a simple javascript implementation of google maps (not using gomap). Then, i tested the page in interenet explorer and it worked fine. However, after i took my custom javascript implementation and pasted the code into a "Text/Html" module within dotnetnuke, the lines appeared in the bubbles. There seems to be a core bug here with dotnetnuke. I cant find anyone who has found a resolution to this.

I've submitted a bug to the dotnetnuke community at the following url http://support.dotnetnuke.com/issue/ViewIssue.aspx?id=6141 Please watch that issue for updates on what the team says about it

I am confused as to why it would be an issue with DNN Core and be fine in Firefox not in IE, and not the way GoMap renders the bubble? The reason I also think that is that we have used JetKey products to create bubbles that are like GomMap in DNN with no issue. Thanks for following up, I really appreciate it. I have had such limited time to dig into the code of rendering the bubble, but my guess is that it has to do with that process. What we have planned for GoMap is to use it to plot "mining claims" and have the bubble display info on the claim. It is such an awesome product! I will post right away if I discover how to fix.

Good question by asking why the problem <div class='NTForums_Quote'>not the way GoMap renders the bubble? </div> The answer is that GoMap does not render the balloon. the google maps api does. Gomap simply calls the google maps function openInfoWindowHtml() from google: http://www.google.com/apis/maps/documentation/reference.html#GMarker Anyway, i wrote a custom html and javascript implementation of google maps (not using GoMap) and it works fine in IE and Firefox. However, when i run the same code within dotnetnuke, the problem happens. The bug is isolated to dotnetnuke. And, to your point, JotKey is found a way to resolve the issue. I've started digging into the jotkey implementation to figure out what they are doing different. Jotkey is calling the same google api "markers<i>.openInfoWindowHtml(page1s<i>);" that Gomap uses. Thus far, i have not figured out how jotkey has gotten around the problem. I suspect when you install jotkey it changes some core rendering functionality of DNN... i just havent figured out what If i ever solve this mystery i will post the resolution here

i've found a resolution to this issue. The problem is the DOCTYPE used by default. I changed the doctype in the skin to use xhtml as follows: <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd"> Now, if you check out http://www.ideafany.com you'll notice the info window looks perfect. This issue effecting everyone using the GoMap module. I dont know if it is possible for a module to change the DOCTYPE within dotnetnuke? the doctype really the function of the Skin and not a module

The document type is set by the skin, IIRC. The value is rendered by Default.aspx in the Literal tag: <asp:literal id="skinDocType" runat="server"></asp:literal> Nice job! -Eric
