I am not sure but it seems it's not reposting.  When I toggle layers on/off 
and press the Update button there seems to be a javascript error, because IE 
shows a small warning icon in the lower left. Clicking on it reveals an 
error in Line 518, a null object. I viewed the source of the page but on 
that line number there is nothing.
I am aware of the difficulties of debugging java script problems. I was 
going to try using opera istead since it has a JavaScript console, but 
Chameleon works poorly with opera because som DOM collections doesn't exist 
on opera. The JSAPI examples doesn't work at all on Opera because of this.

In general it's hard to track down bugs and problems in a chameleon. I would 
appreciate any hints for general problem solving in this environment. All 
the widget stuff and JS snippets being deployed makes it easy to loose 
control.
I think I will just have to start over with a fresh chameleon sample, and 
add piece by piece until I hit the wall again, to isolate the problem.
Perhaps I also should download mozilla since I hear it has better facilities 
for debugging JS problems.

cheers,
