Answer 1

There's an example on the MSDN doc page.

Basically, I removed all the extra "map" stuff on their page and the only difference between theirs and your example is that they include the following meta-tag:

I added this to the head tag in your example and it worked fine.

This meta-tag basically says to run the page as if it were in IE 8 and not IE 9 (which is still in beta).
