Thanks, I think I understand the problem from your end. It seemed like a good idea to put the colors in my postgresql tables instead of having 23 or such classes.
What would make life easier would be "Named" styles. Then I could have one set of poly background colors to use for the various layers. "Named" Label blocks would be nice too. Instead of editing every layer to change text size in every style in every class... I'm sure you get the idea. Thanks for your help... and MapServer!

The legend code isn't smart Enough to discover potential colors and render them. Also, class names cannot be bound to an attribute... If you really need legends produced by MapServer then attribute binding probably isn't going to work for you.

Here is an example of what I think I should use to get a legend for this layer. CLASS NAME [name] STYLE COLOR [color] OUTLINECOLOR 0 0 0 WIDTH 1 END END Only the NAME line dies with a parse error as it appears to be looking for a string ([MapServer Error]: getString(): Parsing error near ([name])). It seems that the NAME line cannot take an attribute. How do I get a legend for this layer? Is this the method I should be using for this use?
