[Chameleon] MapTips Widget

[Jason Fournier]

Dave,

Under your Chameleon install there is a samples directory.  In that 
directory are several example templates which showcase various widget 
packs.  Assuming you are using Apache you can create an alias to 
conveniently view the sample index in your browser.  Here is my conf 
file for Chameleon (note that I am using ms4w):

Alias /chameleon/samples "/ms4w/apps/chameleon/samples/htdocs"

<Directory "/ms4w/apps/chameleon/samples/htdocs">
  AllowOverride None
  Options Indexes FollowSymLinks Multiviews
  Order allow,deny
  Allow from all
</Directory>

Alias /chameleon/ "/ms4w/apps/chameleon/htdocs/"

<Directory "/ms4w/apps/chameleon/htdocs/">
  AllowOverride None
  Options Indexes FollowSymLinks Multiviews
  Order allow,deny
  Allow from all
</Directory>

For IIS you would create a Virtual Directory pointing to 
/path/to/chameleon/samples.

The indexes for each sample application are preconfigured to use the 
directory structure of Chameleon!  Hitting 
http://localhost/chameleon/samples in your browser should take you to 
the samples index page.  From there you can view and experiment with a 
number of Chameleon template configurations - both basic and advanced.

Thanks,
Jay
