I think I’ve fixed the problem that was happening in Firefox.  When you loaded the “Create Diagram” page for the first time, clicking on the chess pieces in the palette had no effect (this was a Bad Thing).  I was able to consistently reproduce the problem before applying the fix.  After putting in the fix, I can’t recreate the problem anymore (this is a Good Thing).

For those who want the gory details: the problem seemed to a particularly nasty heisenbug that effected the x and y coordinates of the images.  As the page is rendered and starts to “settle”, the X and Y coordinates are in flux.  Unfortuneately, my JavaScript code that reads and stores the “golden copy” of the coordinates was running in the middle of this flux state.  End result: some important values were really wrong and that was causing a problem.
