Hi Aaron,

this is probably not the easiest thing to do as a first widget adaptation 
:)

With the Locate widget, the popup is called Locate.phtml instead of 
LocatePopup.phtml.

So you will probably have the following in your template (besides the 
actual iframe itself for which I assume an id="locateframe" in my example):

<script>
function myOnLoad()
{
	CWC2OnLoadFunction();
	document.getElementById("locateframe").src = 
"[$gszCoreWebPath$]/widgets/Locate/Locate.		phtml?szCallbackFunc=LocateCB&sid=[$gszSessId$]";
	alert(document.getElementById("locateframe").src);
}
</script>

<body onload="myOnLoad()">

This way you can see whether or not the [$ $] values are filled in by 
Chameleon.

Best regards,
Bart
