If the layer status is not set to default, you can add it to the URL call e.g.
&layer=countries
If you want the legend to refresh every time a user pans or zooms, you will
want to have code that watches for the moveend event and updates the legend
div. Turns out, the example post that you cited may not be the best way to do
it, but I am quite familiar with it...

Hi Subha,
I think for the "mode=legend" to work, you need to change the LAYER
status to DEFAULT. However, you can test the legend function via WMS request
without changing the status by using a request similar to this: (linebreaks
added for clarity)
http://localhost/cgi-bin/mapserv?map=/var/www/mapfiles/states/states.map
&service=wms
&version=%221.1.1%22
&request=GetLegendGraphic
&layer=countries
&styles=
&width=60
&height=40
&format=png

Will the map file remain the same for this? I did try using
mode=legend in my request and added that to a separate DIV.But the request
doesn't seem to be generating any image.
This is how my map file looks. I've not pasted the entire
contents as its too big.
legend
status on
imagecolor 255 0 0
position ul
end
layer
CONNECTIONTYPE postgis
name india_states
CONNECTION "user=postgres dbname=ibp host=localhost"
group world
type polygon
dump true
METADATA
"wfs_title" "Factbook Metadata"
"gml_include_items" "all"
"wms_feature_info_mime_type" "text/html"
END
template "template.html"
projection
"init=epsg:4326"
end
transparency alpha
status on
data "topology from india_states using unique id using SRID =
-1"
CLASSITEM "state"
CLASS
NAME "JAMMU & KASHMIR"
EXPRESSION "JAMMU & KASHMIR"
STYLE
COLOR 191 191 155
OUTLINECOLOR 000 000 000
#antialias true
end
end
CLASS

EXPRESSION "HIMACHAL"
STYLE
COLOR 245 226 188
OUTLINECOLOR 000 000 000

end
end
And this request is like this as per the example i found here
:http://openlayers.org/pipermail/users/2008-September/007495.html
var legenddiv = document.createElement('div');
legenddiv.setAttribute('id','legend');
legenddiv.innerHTML = '<img src =
"http://localhost/cgi-bin/mapserv?mode=legend&map='+mapfile+
<http://localhost/cgi-bin/mapserv?mode=legend&map=%27+mapfile+> '"</img>';
document.getElementById('map').appendChild(legenddiv);
Thanks & regards,
Subha
David.

Also, you might want to consider making a separate
GetLegendGraphic WMS request and putting the legend
in a separate
DIV element in your web page.
Just an idea.

and search for untiled. There's a "WMS Untiled"
example you
can view the source of. The singleTile option
goes in the
"options" object as opposed the "params" object.
Params get
passed to the WMS service, options are handled
by OL.

Hi Steve,
It would be great if you can give me an example
or tell me
where it is
usually set in OL.
Thanks for your help.
