[Users] Resizing a mapPanel with a windows onresize event with IE8

Well I am using geoext rather the just openlayers for toolbar and map 
widgets. I want to insert the map into many pages of existing markup 
with minimal effort. I was struggling to see how to use ext layouts 
without having to write code that tells ext about other markup elements 
on the page. (Ie more work per page).

Thank you. I will try that.
