[Chameleon] switching views

[Julien-Samuel Lacroix]

Hi,

Do you have a LegendTemplate widget in your application? This may 
simplify the JavaScript to use.

If you don't want to use JavaScript, I think it should be relatively 
easy to build a simple and custom widget that simply turn on/off the two 
layers via php/mapscript. You can check the web documentation for 
examples of widget customization.
