[Chameleon] LocateByAttributes

[Delfos, Jacob]

Hi Mariette,

I have not implemented the "buttonizer" functionality in the widget,
because I had some trouble figuring out how it worked, and somehow I
didn't manage to get the transparency sorted out properly in photoshop.
So I figured I'd just make it output link text, allowing people to use
the link in a more flexible way.

I have not yet created a button to clear the searchresults layer. I
figured people can turn off the search result in the legend if they wish
to do so. I once did create a widget to permanently remove layers, but
this was part of a bigger scheme (using Iframes for communication, etc),
and couldn't easily be used on its own. It's not too difficult to
construct, though. Just get a widget to set the layer status to
MS_DELETE using PHP_Mapscript. 

Best regards,

Jacob

	Thank you for the widget.

	I have implemented it and it is working fine, but I do have a
couple a couple of questions.

	 

	I am having difficulty with sticking it in a textbutton using
the pop up functionality. I have it set up similar to any other widget
but instead of the button it is just the text. Any help here would be
good.

	 

	Second, I see it adds a selected layer, which is nice,  is there
a quick way to create a button that would clear the search results?

	 

	Thank You
