Okay it turns out we jumped the gun as the problem is still happening,
albeit less often. It is completely random.
The only surefire workaround for this IE bug is to close the </body> tag
before the Google Maps code. BUT as stated that then messes up Firefox
interpreting the code.
Can anyone suggest another way to do this (which doesn't work)?:
<!--[if IE]></body><![endif]-->
Need something really simple please. KISS as you say.
Thanks.
