This is really an OpenLayers question. I recommend posting your issue on the OpenLayers list. <br><br><a href="http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/openlayers-users/">http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/openlayers-users/</a><br>
<br>To me, the debugging steps are:<br>- to figure out whether IE is loading your POI data<br>- figure out whether your POIs fall within the map envelope<br>- sniff out any projection issues.<br><br>If everything works in FF, but not in IE, I am guessing that your POI data isn't being loaded. Or, you have some sort of trailing comma that is ticking off IE. <br>

Your POI, on the other hand, show up very well. I'll have to keep studying your code.<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">2012/8/24 Gilles Pelletier <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:pellgill@gmail.com" target="_blank">pellgill@gmail.com</a>></span><br>

What js mapping library are you using?<br>
<br>
You might want to look at Leaflet and/or OpenLayers.<br>
