OK. This seems to be the general opinion for everyone out there.
I thought it would be easy if I used the same javascript function
that the sample scripts used. I took the tools_enhanced (with JSAPI)
script and examined it to see how it worked. It shows a call from
the MapSize widget popup to the applyMapSize(nWidth,nHeight) function.
I assumed calling this directly using <a
href="javascript:applyMapSize(600,450);"> would have a similar effect.

Looking at designing my own template then - would anyone have a sample
template like this already, or perhaps some tutorials on designing
templates for use with Chameleon? Once I have finished this project,
I will probably right some tutorials for people who are new like I
am or was at least ;)
