The site page mapping doesn't seem to be working for me. They won't expand or contract. I am running Windows 7 on Internet Explorer. Has anyone else got this problem?

Top or bottom map or both Cerrig? Which version of IE are you using?
The maps work on all other browsers to my knowledge, I don't know why they don't work on your IE, I've not done anything to the standard install of 'OpenSpace / OpenLayers'
Does this map work for you?

How about this map?

The top map won't zoom in or out, and the bottom map will only zoom in a little and no more. I'm not sure which version I have, but it was the latest one last summer.

Similar thing here I'm using Windows 7 Internet Explorer. The site map is on at first but them just whizzes off to the right and then no go cannot get it back. Ummm. Those two links work okay though.

OK, that's more clear, thanks. I'm getting some odd behaviour in the panning and zooming the top OS map. I think it's an interaction between the two maps as they are based on the same system but I haven't been able to pin it down.
Does the map pan and zoom when there is only one map as here

The map box is blank, except for the pan/zoom buttons. If I zoom in the map appears as a world map. I can zoom in until I need to pan up to the UK, which it does ok, and that's as far as it will go. No zoom, and no pan. This is from a PC running windows XP now, so no change with that.

Its better than it was Andy, but site map still whizzing around when you move it about and not staying still as it should. Certainly a bit better.

On the os map the result of mouse movement is amplified- not had mouse problems for a long time, i wonder if you can alter the resolution/sensitivity of the movement of the mouse relative to the map

Yes, that's the thing that seems to be some sort of interaction between the two maps. It doesn't happen when just the OS one is present. Other than that observation it's not at all clear what's causing it or how I halve the scrolling speed, but it would be fixing the symptom rather than the cause. If there are any OpenLayers / OpenSpace programmers out there please make yourselves known!

I have noticed that the zoom up and down thingy at the top left-hand side of the os site map has lost its line down the centre - could that be part of the problem. It was similar to a fader on a amplifier or music system which you moved up/down. Bit difficult to explain that really.

I am seeing some of the problems you mention here but if varies from computer to computer (even with the same browser) so is difficult to debug.
I tried to upgrade the maps to the latest version but the markers stopped working so I had to 'roll back' to the previous version again. This doesn't appear to have been totally successful (much like the Nat West banking problems last year but a little less critical!)
If anyone has been seeing an 'API key not valid' pop up on site pages - this was a separate problem at Ordnance Survey which has apparently been fixed - unless anyone is still seeing this error?

I have fixed the zooming and panning on the OS map, there were two different versions of the Openlayers map script clashing, one from the OS and one from us. I now only load the one that is needed and this works for me.
Not tested on Internet Explorer yet - that sounds like a separate problem. Progress anyway.

This page leaves a blank map in IE 9 (Win 7) same with IE 8 (Under XP). Works fine in Firefox and Chrome - both of which are far superior as browsers. IE is rubbish!

OK thanks for letting me know Cerrig. People will need to upgrade or on XP just use Firefox or any other web browser.

Site maps now working fairly well again on Internet Explorer. Thank you Andy.
