Hi Liz,

I think Paul fixed this a while ago (a month or 2) and I put it in CVS back then.

Check out the widgets\js directory from CVS.

Best regards,
Bart

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
