[Chameleon] button within a widget

[Ken-ichi]

Thanks for the tips Paul.  I've been working a different project for a 
while, hence the lag.  I've successfully added a button to my widget 
using your instructions and adapting some code from the UpdateMap 
widget, but every time the page loads, I get a javascript error that reads:

image object for cwcimage_16 not found?

I'm fairly sure this is because the button is only drawn when the widget 
is displaying results, which only happens when another widget is used to 
select an area on the map.  So even though the button is not written 
into the HTML, its JavaScript CWCButton object still is.  You can take a 
look at this at http://fisher.cnr.berkeley.edu/vtm/data/mapbrowse/, and 
using the Select VTM Quads tool to select quads on the map.  Whenever 
quad results are not displayed you get the error.

Any ideas on how I can fix this?

PS. My button-related InitDefaults() lines look like this:


//initialize the Add Data button ($moButton)
        $this->moButton->InitDefaults();
        $this->moButton->SetOnClick( 'VTMAddData' );

        $this->moButton->mszStyleResource = "TextButtons";
        $this->moButton->moParent->maParams['LABEL'] = "Add Data";
        $oApp = GetChameleonApplication();
        $szImage = $oApp->findFile( 'icons/icon_update.png' );
        $this->moButton->maszImages['normal'] = 
$this->moButton->GetImage( 'normal', array( "image" => $szImage ) );
        $this->moButton->maszImages['hover'] = 
$this->moButton->GetImage( 'hover', array( "image" => $szImage ) );
        $this->moButton->maszImages['selected'] = 
$this->moButton->GetImage( 'selected', array( "image" => $szImage ) );
        $this->moButton->mszImageTip = "Add VTM Data";
