In IE, if you drag a box, rather than just clicking a point, you get an error - 
ERROR: Invalid input type specified inZoomOut.php. Error doesn't come up in 
Mozilla, but extent doesn't change either.

I have fixed a small problem with the MapDHTML widget that was causing this
problem.  Basically the MapDHTML widget was not checking to see if navigation
tools were allowed to have rectangles or not.  Now it is not possible to drag a
rectangle with the zoom out tool

Would it be a lot of work Paul to implement the zoom-out with a rectangle? We 
get lots of questions from ESRI users wanting this kind of functionality.

what would it do?  Options are:

* zoom out from center point of rectangle by fixed factor (unless ZoomFactor
widget is in template)?
* zoom out from center point with factor calculated from size of rectangle?
* some other option?

The way this works in the ESRI software is your second option Paul:
zoom out from center point with factor calculated from size of rectangle?

I.e. the smaller the box, the further the map zooms out.
