Floating objects and scroll wheel

Posted: September 11th, 2008, 11:35pm CEST by Josh

Hi there, I have a map when I am overlaying (not on the map, putting a
div overtop of) a translucent sidebar. Unfortunately when a user
hovers over this sidebar and uses the mouse wheel it zooms the map. I
wish to still have scroll wheel zoom while the user is using the map,
however I do not want it to zoom while over the sidebar.
Side Bar code is looping.

I am working on this page: [link]

I can't figure out why the code in the side bar is looping. Also,
I've tried figuring out how to change the text in the search bar, but
when I add the code to what I have, it makes the map stop working
completely. It ends up just loading a blank page.

Previously, all was well. Now??? Using Morfik AJAX IDE and pascal
as the base code, the project was working fine. Now, Chrome and FF
work but the IE browser points to line 23 (or line 24???) as "Invalid

Line 23/24 that it points to is

different LineString behaviour on MyMaps and maps.google.com?

A friend of mine knew I'd done some GMaps stuff, so asked me for help. He's

default maps page. In particular, on MyMaps the line is getting split into
multiple segments.

I noticed little grey numbers next to the roads when zoomed in to the

They don't seem to correspond to any distance or other logical thing.

Anyone have any ideas what they could be?
