Hi Jon,

I am working on DNNVE, a module incorprating Virtual Earth into DNN.

The VE map controls are called from a javascript available from Microsoft. I am creating a map control element via JS and appending it to a table cell in my ascx file. I am using absolute positioning and things work ok in standard mode with a single content pane.

When in admin mode the 'position' of the cell is further right and down then it should be. Basically the left and top properties are off. This was the case for some manually written functions that caculate the position of an element by going up the tree. It looks like the other panes are being counted twice or something.

I have tried the dnn.dom.positioning namespace and I get the same results.

Why is Admin mode causing the absolute  position to be miscalculated ? Am I missing a piece of the DOM HTML magic puzzle!

Thanks for any insight,

Jon,

I have created a temp test site at www.walkspoiled.com/ve

The user name and passwd are JHTEST. I changed the calls to use the client api dnn positioning namespace.

 var oDims = new dnn.dom.positioning.dims(document.getElementById("mapcell"));

map = new VE_MapControl(40.9521068, -73.592862, 10, 'r', "absolute", oDimsMapCell.l, oDimsMapCell.t-oDimsCPanel.h, oDimsMapCell.w,oDimsMapCell.h);

document.getElementById("mapcell").appendChild(map.element);

I tried to position the map at the left and top posstion, and this works fine in regular mode, but the map is pushed down as the left and top appear to be greater than expected in admin mode.

I can get you the vb.net code behind if it will help.

Thanks for taking a look.
