[Chameleon] makeButton question

[Bart van den Eijnden]

Hi Paul,

okay this explains things.

I was set in the wrong direction by the BoundingBoxPopup widget which I 
used as an example.

I was editing in a file named CatalogSearchPopup, so I used 
CatalogSearchPopup as the value for the 3rd parameter. But the actual 
widget name is CatalogSearch ofcourse.

So but if you supply an invalid argument for the third parameter, you will 
get a button like this (which creates an invisble button):

<img name="da82ef3bd1546d5fa61ce6d63011082c" 
id="da82ef3bd1546d5fa61ce6d63011082c" src=null width="" height="" 
ALT="Locate Place" TITLE="Locate Place" BORDER="0">

Perhaps a warning should be generated for the widget developer in this 
specific case?

Best regards,
Bart
