[Chameleon] User movable KeyMap in floating layer

[Paul Spencer]

Carlo,

the problem you are running into is a fundamental flaw in how  
Chameleon's javascript stuff works in both MapDHTML and KeyMapDHTML.   
The original code was written several (4+) years ago and has not been  
updated since we started to learn how to take advantage of DOM  
manipulation in more advanced ways.  It would probably be quite  
tricky to get this to work the way the widget is written.  Sorry for  
the bad news :(

Cheers

Paul
