I am using Chameleon 2.0...maybe I should post this on a different list?
Sorry, I'm very new to MapServer/Chameleon....

The answer depends on what API to mapserver you are using. If you are using CGI then it might be a simple as defining a form on your page the is submitted to mapserver where the drop name is YEAR and is assigned a value that is the view name and then in your mapfile use %YEAR% as a variable substitution in the DATA "... %YEAR% ..." statement.

I am working on a basic mapping application that currently displays data from a spatial database based on variable groupings. I have individual views set up for each individual layer and have the grouping set up in the legend template. I would like to add a drop down menu somewhere on the interface so that the user could select a year and plot whatever layers are chosen for that particular year. Could someone point me in the right direction of how to do this?
