[OSM-dev] two javascript challenges for enthusiastic hackers

[John McKerrell]

Hi Nick (Black)

I actually noticed something like this while working on the accounts  
page but I could never track it down. I think it's actually more a  
problem with open layers not reporting the correct position than your  
conversion being wrong though. You might want to just try modifying  
the HTML a bit and seeing if you get different results, ISTR it was  
quite sporadic though, the same HTML/CSS could work some times and  
not at others. Actually, you haven't got a doctype on your page so  
that would be a good start...
