[Chameleon] Can't make the rubberband work -- Help!

[Liz Godwin]

I'm reposting on this issue to see if anything has been resolved in
Chameleon core:

It is my opservation that having a CORRECT DOCTYPE declaration as set by W3C
in one's template, throws off the rubberband boxes, and measure tool etc.
This is a bug. I will file it when I'm done here.

We're using Chameleon version 2.2.

To me this is an important bug to fix as I am attempting to write template
that work in IE and Firefox, and right now, my templates look awful without
a proper DOCTYPE and great with one. BUT no rubber band box.

Any idea on how to fix?

Liz
