[Chameleon] multiple zoomin before map arrives

[Bart van den Eijnden]

Hi Paul,

I fixed it in PanMap the way you suggested.

For the UpdateMap I needed another solution, only submit if the value 
doesn't equal "1":

function {$szJsFunctionName}()
{
     if ({$this->mszHTMLForm}.UPDATE_MAP.value != "1")
     {
     	{$this->mszHTMLForm}.UPDATE_MAP.value = "1";
     	{$this->mszHTMLForm}.submit();
     	return;
     }
}

Ofcourse this is not full-proof, because when a user clicks the 
RemoveLayer tool, and after that immediately the UpdateMap button, there 
is still the same problem.

But this rules out the chance of running into it a lot.

Thanks!

Best regards,
Bart
