           Summary: [Chameleon]HelpWidget popup displayed error when widgets
                    definition is in application directory
           Product: Chameleon
           Version: 1.99
          Platform: PC
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: Widget
        AssignedTo: chameleon-dev at lists.maptools.org
        ReportedBy: nsavard at dmsolutions.ca


When the "HelpWidget" is set in a popup and widget definitions to show help for
are located in a different directory than Chameleon base installation, error
report is displayed.

Noticed that when widget definitions are located in Chameleon base installation,
the "HelpWidget" displays help as expected.

I modified the hawaii demo found on xcalibur as follow to execute this test:

1.  Added the following lines in the "hawaii_demo.html" (This file is in the
attached): 

     <!-- ------------------ -->
      <!-- HELP AREA BEGINS -->
      <!-- ------------------ -->

<tr>
                <td width="30"><a href="javascript:openPopupHelp()"><img
src="images/cwc_buttons/tool_legend_1.png" width="88" height="22" border="0"
alt="Help" title="Help"></a></td>
                <td><font face="Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif" size="1"
color="#666666">Help</font></td>

</tr>



2. Added the following JS function in "hawaii_demo.html" template:

openPopupHelp()
{
 
window.open('help.phtml','PopupHelp','width=500,height=400,resizable=yes,scrollbars=yes,toolbar=no,location=no,directories=no,status=no,menubar=no');
}


3. Created a "help.phtml" file (in the attached).

4. Created a "hawaii_help_popup.html" file (in the attached).

5. Made a new widgets directory called "widgets_norm".

6. Moved the "HelpWidget" directory  into this new directory "widgets_norm".

7. Modified the "CWCExecute function to include the new widgets path:

  $oApp->CWCExecute("/path/to/hawaii_chameleon/htdocs/widgets_norm/");

8. Loaded "index.phtml".

9. Click on the "Legend" button (I used the "Legend" button image for the help.)

10.  Errors are reported.

Fedora Core 2 Chameleon 20040709.
