TOPIC: HotSpots issue in IE7

I've got an issue with IE7. It seems to be an IE issue with with the APIs in general; this isn't the first map marker extension I've tried on this site. I get an error message when the page loads telling me to go get a new API, then the map doesn't load and says it can't find Houston, Texas! Any ideas?

Would you try it with a default joomla template? Your template is based on html5 - did you write it yourself?

You are also loading jquery on the page (joomla and hotspots they use mootools - it is not recomended to have 2 js libraries loaded on the same page).

To be honest right now I have no idea. For me the map on your site doesn't load at all - all what I get are several messed windows. (checking the demo page demo.compojoom.com/hotspots one more time with IE7 proves to me that hotspots works on IE7 - something on your site must be braking it).

I changed my template back to the standard html4 based joomla template. I just realized that the main menu (superfish) is loading jQuery and breaking the Hotspots map. When I disable the main menu, then the Hotspots map displays correctly in IE. Do you have any suggestions on fixing the conflict, or recommend a different drop-down menu module?

Thanks!

Hey Ted,
I see that you have fixed the problem. Looks awesome! What you perhaps need to do is to change the height of the categories container (you can find an option for this in the backend).
And also go to the menu -> you hotspots menu item and select use map marker boundaries for centering. This way the map will be always centered on the markers on the map.

I'm not sure if I did something wrong, but I changed the menu item settings to "by category marker bounds." Now the map is not able to load the markers on the map. And, when I change it back and click on a category on the front-end map, it is unable to load the location markers on the map as well. All the locations marker points are correct in the back-end.

Thanks!

Go to the settings and turn the progress bar back on.
