Overviewmap / OpenStreetMap / Firefox

I am not seeing the map display in the OverviewMap widget when the initial layer is OpenStreetMap in Firefox? I do see it working correctly in IE, Opera, and Chrome.

James,

This looks like a bug - we'll work on a fix for this issue. In my testing I noticed that if I set the visibility of the overview map to false then the OSM basemap does appear when users click the button to open the overview map. So perhaps you can use this as a workaround until the issue is resolved.

       //add the overview map            var overviewMapDijit = new esri.dijit.OverviewMap({             map: map,             visible:false           });           overviewMapDijit.startup();

I tested this in my code and it works great. It's an excellent workaround for the issue. Thanks for the quick response.
