[Chameleon] popup from rectangle

[Ken-ichi]

So I'm still working on this widget (essentially a query-like tool that 
uses a rectangle) and it really has me stumped.  When I junk ZoomIn's 
ParseURL and add the JS functions from Query (renaming everything 
appropriately, I hope), the form just submits whenever you click on the 
map, instead of bringing up the popup window.  This happens regardless 
of whether $this->mnAllowRectangle = 0 or not.  I even dropped an alert( 
'blah' ) into the widgetNameWMouseClick() JS function, only to find it 
doesn't even get called when I click on the map.  widgetNameWMouseMove() 
works fine.  When I try the other route and set $this->mnAllowRectangle 
= 1 in the Query widget, it has no effect: no rectangle.

So I guess my question is, how does Chameleon decide when a click on the 
map submits the form, and when it defers to a widget's JavaScript?
