Hey david,

       Thanks for your reply, i tried this but it didnt work. I am going to give you the complete link that we are using. Actually we are trying to query a states layer from the shape file and display just the north dakota state. So the link we are using are

 

http://localhost/scripts/mapserv.exe?MODE=map&MAP=c:/Inetpub/scripts/stateswms.map&CONTEXT=c:/Inetpub/wwwroot/mapserverdata/map_files/contextmap.xml&LAYERS=states&QLAYER=states&QITEM=state&QSTRING=('[state]'='ND')

 

any suggestions please ...

 

Thanks for your time and effort ...

Kris,

 

This may not quite work, but it should be closer. Try something like:

 

http://pathtomapserv.exe?MODE=itemnquerymap&LAYERS=layer1&QLAYER=layer1&QITEM=colname&QString=('[colname]'='value')

 

David.

Hello all,

        I was trying to query one of the layers from a shape file in the url, i am used map as the mode and gave the layer name for Qlayer, column name for Qitem and QString. Part of the URL looks like

 

http://pathtomapserv.exe?MODE=map&LAYERS=layer1&QLAYER=layer1&QITEM=colname&QString=("colname=value")

 

the map is displayed but it didnt filter the layer with the given querystring variables ....

 

Is there something missing, can anyone suggest with something ...

 

Thanks for your effort and time ....

kris
