Dear all, I might open a topic in a wrong forum, because I do not know whether I should ask this question in Mapserver or OpenLayers forum. If I did, I feel sorry about that.
I want to query the layer with using openlayers. However, I do not know how to 'call' the templates from mapfile to the html file.I have found topics about query using mapserver and openlayers, but I have still no idea how to code in html file. The query function is fine when using mapserver alone. In the mapfile, I have put metadata into web like this: WEB HEADER "/ms4w/Apache/htdocs/web_header.html" FOOTER "/ms4w/Apache/htdocs/web_footer.html" EMPTY "empty.html" Metadata "wms_title" "WMS" "wms_onlineresource" "http://localhost/cgi-bin/mapserv.exe?map=c:/ms4w/Apache/htdocs/test.map&" "wms_srs" "EPSG:4269" "wms_feature_info_mime_type" "text/html" END template "/ms4w/Apache/htdocs/web.html" imagepath "/ms4w/Apache/htdocs/tmp/" imageurl "/tmp/" END PROJECTION "init=epsg:4269" END And in the layer, data from postgresql postgis (with attribute ID) was used with metadata: Name "Abc" metadata "wms_title" "Abc" "wms_srs" "EPSG:4269" End ..... I also have put header footer in layer and template in the class Class Name "abc" Template "/ms4w/Apache/htdocs/query.html" ...... END The code in html file: var layer = new OpenLayers.Layer.MapServer( "ABC WMS", "http://localhost/cgi-bin/mapserv.exe?map=c:/ms4w/Apache/htdocs/test.map&", {layers: 'Abc'} ); I tried {layers: 'Abc', mode: 'query', params ='ID'} but it did not work. I found an example of query: http://www.co.sweet.wy.us/mapserver/map.html I want to query the layer by a click instead of dragging and a new window come out to display information. How can I make this in html file? Furthermore, I find many examples using new OpenLayers.Layer.WMS. But when I use it, it displays nothing. I can only use new OpenLayers.Layer.MapServer to display map. What is the problem?
