Hi Steve,
 
thank you so much for lighting me, your solution works really well.
 
And I've noticed that there REF and REF[x][y] CGI parameters in the document, do these mean I can simply click on the reference map and the map extent will change automatically? I mean the case of CGI mode.
 
I am trying to get the value to figure out if it works, but these two parameters are not replaced by the CGI program:
 
<input type="text" value="[REF]" size="15">
<input type="text" value="[REF[x][y]]" size="15">
 
or not all CGI parameters can be used in the template file?
 
thanks in advance

Zhonghai: That should be doable. The CGI does accept a point (only in map coordinates I think) and a scale. You'd probably want to allow panning in the the main map display (no zooming) and then control scale with a seperate form. A skeleton browse template might look like (this is off the top of my head):

<form name=image_form action=""><input type=hidden name=map value=[map]>
<input type=hidden name=imgext value="[mapext]">
<input type=image name=img src=""
</form>

<form name=scale_form action=""><input type=hidden name=map value=[map]>
<input type=hidden name=mapxy value="[mapx] [mapy]">
<select name=scale SINGLE>
   <option value=1000000> 1:1,000,000
   <option value=500000> 1:500,000
   ...
</select>
<input type=submit name=" go ">
</form>

You'd have to maintain the scale select list state with a bit of _javascript_ but otherwise something like this should work. Since the forms are pretty well self contained you should be able to use most any design/page layout.

Hi guys,

trying to develop a small demo using scanned paper maps, these are some
historical maps and scanned as GIF or JPEG format. I am wondering if I can
do it only using HTML tags and CGI parameters, without client side script
languages.

the problem for these paper maps is:

I can not use the zoom[number] parameter to set the zoom control, since each
paper map can only be displayed in a certain map scale, e.g 1:1000000,
otherwise it's not readable because of the image resolution. I have about 9
different levels.

I appreciate your info.
