[Chameleon] problems modifying samples

Not silly at all.  That was indeed the problem.  I deleted the KEYMAP
code in the template and it worked perfectly.  The popup messages
dissapeared and the map rendered.  Your explanation of why commenting
out didn't work is appreciated and I think will help others starting to
use chameleon as well.

I guess we'll have to see if someone else can determine the cause of the
error I got:

Error rendering map image:
A fatal error has occurred restoring your session.
Please restart the application

and why the issue of a 'commented out widget from the template' would
cause that behavior.

Thanks again for the solution.

This may sound a bit silly, but did you try deleting the keymap code 
from your template instead of commenting it out?  When you comment it 
out in the HTML, Chameleon still sees the reference to the widget when 
it parses the template, so although the widget output is commented out 
in the final product, the associated JavaScript still gets written in, 
and that usually makes reference to the image object that has been 
commented out (hence the missing image error).  Not sure why your map 
isn't rendering though.

PS - It's a testament to the general responsiveness of this list that I 
was tempted to include a Slashdotian "FIRST!" in the subject line.
