[Chameleon] sample css problems

[Paul Spencer]

Ken,

the samples are kinda broken in this respect, they are not really there 
to demonstrate good application design ... just some decent widget examples.

The (dhtml) layer positioning code was hacked in to keep things aligned 
when the map size changes, unfortunately it doesn't really work very well.

You can probably just remove any calls to LayerSetSizeInit and do 
relative or absolute positioning as you see fit ...

We'll probably redesign the sample templates at some point to clean up 
some cruft, but for now your best bet might be to start from scratch and 
copy/paste over what you need.

Cheers,

Paul
