Hi,
I am using a book for exmaples for creating map files and html
documents. In the book it shows you how to create a html templates and
get the information from the mapserver to load in the html document. So
basically you have a blank html with a submit button that you click. It
then loads the html template with the mapserver information.
The question I have is how do you load the mapserver information in the
html automacitly without using a template and click a button? It loads
the information up when you click on web link to that web page.
Would that be something like javascript calling for the map server?
Where do I start? Can anyone help me?
Albert,
I'm not a great web developer, but I think the example "initialize" form is
just pushing a bunch of hidden form variables into the url. For instance,
when I click on the initialize button for a simple example, I get an url
like:
http://gdal/cgi-bin/mapserv?map=%2Fu%2Fwww%2Frot_ortho%2Fdemo.map&zoomsize=2
The map, and zoomsize variables are being set from forms variables. You
can just do the same thing in a direct link to the mapserv cgi url.
Best regards,
