Q:

Google Maps API + Wax.g + IE = Tiny Tiles

I'm using wax.g to display custom tiles on a Google Map. This works fine in every browser I've tested, except IE. In other browsers, the tiles are rendered correctly, but in IE, the tiles a rendering as a smaller version of their true selves. The issue is best explained in the following screenshots:
What they should look like: http://cl.ly/image/2E0U2b0c0f0W
What they look like in IE: http://cl.ly/image/2F3B353q0G0c
This issue doesn't happen all the time, and if I pan or zoom, sometimes I get the correctly sized tiles, and sometimes I don't. Not sure if this is a Wax issue or an issue with how the Google Maps API renders custom overlayMapTypes. Has anyone else experienced this issue? Any insight is much appreciated...

A:

So the problem is that my images were inheriting a style height and width of auto, and Wax.g's getTile method method creates an Image using new Image(256, 256), which writes to height and width attributes of the img itself (img attributes, not inline style). The inline styles took priority over the attributes, so the img was being sized using auto. I fixed this by ensuring the img had a height and width of 256 using inline styling.
Wax.g code:
// Get a tile element from a coordinate, zoom level, and an ownerDocument.
wax.g.connector.prototype.getTile = function(coord, zoom, ownerDocument) {
    var key = zoom + '/' + coord.x + '/' + coord.y;
    if (!this.cache[key]) {
        var img = this.cache[key] = new Image(256, 256);
        this.cache[key].src = this.getTileUrl(coord, zoom);
        this.cache[key].setAttribute('gTileKey', key);
        this.cache[key].onerror = function() { img.style.display = 'none'; };
    }
    return this.cache[key];
};

My modified code:
// Get a tile element from a coordinate, zoom level, and an ownerDocument.
wax.g.connector.prototype.getTile = function(coord, zoom, ownerDocument) {
    var key = zoom + '/' + coord.x + '/' + coord.y;
    if (!this.cache[key]) {
        var img = this.cache[key] = new Image(256, 256);
        img.style.height = '256px';  // added this line
        img.style.width = '256px';  // added this line
        this.cache[key].src = this.getTileUrl(coord, zoom);
        this.cache[key].setAttribute('gTileKey', key);
        this.cache[key].onerror = function() { img.style.display = 'none'; };
    }
    return this.cache[key];
};
