Very nice.  Thank you.

Opera 9.10 (the only real browser :-) )

No Javascript errors.  All features work except completion of  a draw.  A double-click is simply ignored.

IE 7.0

All features work except "change" - clicking on the "change" button immediately raised an "unrecognised feature" alert button.  The initial map does appear without dragging.
