Test case to reproduce IE6/FusionMaps click handler bug

This is where the map goes

#anchor

  1. Ensure you are using IE6, this bug does not occur in IE7 when using the same maps and the same flash player versions. (IE6 Help About shows Version: 6.0.2900.2180.xpsp_sp2_gdr.070227-2254)
  2. Click on the #anchor link above. This just sets the hash fragment of the document.location, which you should be able to see at the end of the URL in the browser address bar.
  3. Click on the red state in the map above. This should call the click handler which is specified in the link attribute of the entity in the XML sent to the FusionMaps object. The click handler should show an alert message.
  4. Click on the #anchor link again.
  5. Click the red state on the map again. This time, the bug occurs. What you see depends on the version of Adobe Flash Player that you have installed:
    1. version 9,0,115,0: Nothing happens - the click handler is not called
    2. version 9,0,124,0 (the latest version at the time of writing): The entire page goes blank. Cannot refresh (using F5 or the refresh button). Cannot view source. Cannot use the IE Developer Toolbar to inspect any elements on the page. Cannot get context menu from right click on page.
