title: IE 8 clipping google marker icons
body: <p>Hi I have seen a similar problem to my own elsewhere but the answers offered haven't worked for me. Basically the map I've created works fine in all browsers I tested except IE, the bespoke icons called via the:</p>
  
  <pre><code>google.maps.MarkerImage("mapIcons/"+ iconColor +".png",
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>are 26 by 34 and this size is set too.</p>
  
  <p>I read that linking to a stable version of the API may help but this hasn't resolved the issue
  I also tried:</p>
  
  <pre><code>    &lt;!--[if IE]&gt;
    &lt;style&gt;
      div#map img{
        margin-top: -1px;
        margin-left: -1px;
      }
    &lt;/style&gt;
  &lt;![endif]--&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>This too failed, the page in question can be viewed here:
