Yes, there's definitely no requirement to post your actual lat/lon. Just somewhere in the correct state, or country would be interesting, I think.

Not yet. Hang on...

Based on previous reports it's something weird about the way IE is resolving host names.

Ok. That's what I get for assuming. IE needs some extra code to work around a couple of bugs. I think it's fixed now, though.

Could someone please try the Member map in Internet Explorer and let me know if it works?

It worked for me, but it looks better in Firefox. For some reason, my IE is not displaying transparent PNGs correctly. The data's all there, and it's usable, but it's ugly.

As long as we post proximity it is fine. I don't really mind. If one of you guys wanna show up at my door one day unexpected just remember one thing: I require a six pack of local stuff whereever you come from and my dog prefers 2 lbs of Boars Head Honey Glazed Turkey Breast. Don't worry about buying turkey breast at home and keeping it fresh, there is a deli right around the corner that serves all that stuff.

This brings back memories from my programming days... Test it in IE back to 4.0 versions, AOL browser, Netscape and WebTV. Always a nightmare and it never looked the same so you had to have 6 different style sheets and browser recognition. Nightmare.

Heh. I hear ya.

I'm amazed Google can make it work as slick as it does. View the page source for index.php... I just cut and pasted most of that from Google's API docs. All the nasty stuff is hidden behind their API.

The only thing I had to add was a page "onload" function to call all the java script _after_ the page was finished loading. IE apparently chokes if you don't, and the error message is, shall we say, less than helpful?

There are a couple of people ending up in Greenland. This is perfect ok if that's what you want, but you might have your longitude and latitude switched...
