Awesome! I like it.
Someone should check the behavior on the keymap. It was acting very
strange on firefox 1.5
single left click flashes the pink rectangle, repositions the main map
for a second then everything reverts back
you can't drag the pink rectangle
double click does about the same
many repeated clicks does:
a) about the same or
b) repositions the pink rectangle and main map or
c) attaches the pink rectangle to the cursor until you click again
Very nice, keep up the fantastic work guys.
