Hi Albert,
I think this solution of David with the onload routine is really good.
But if you want to try the URL approach you could try:
http://your-host/cgi-bin/mapserv?program=mapserv&;
map=/home/mapdata/richland.map&
mapext=625173.309834 5085113.091715 718065.960556 5160035.212592&
layers=aerial richland boundary cities roads sections rivers lakes
railroad parcels&
zoomsize=1
I did put together the informations from your html-code. You have to
change the hostname. Then put this URL in one line into the address
field of your browser. I hope, I made no mistakes and do not create
confusion.

Hi Manfred,
Yup your right with the button. Here is the code for the initializa button
<html>
<head><title>Mapserver Richland County</title></head>
<body>
<form method=GET action="/cgi-bin/mapserv">
<input type="submit" value="Richland County MapServer">
<input type="hidden" name="program"
value="mapserv">
<input type="hidden" name="map"
value="/home/mapdata/richland.map">
<input type="hidden" name="mapext"
value="625173.309834 5085113.091715 718065.960556
5160035.212592">
<input type="hidden" name="layers"
value="aerial richland boundary cities roads sections
rivers lakes railroad parcels">
<input type="hidden" name="zoomsize"
size="1" value="1">
<input type="hidden" name="qstring" value="">
<input type="hidden" name="qlayer" value="">
<input type="hidden" name="qitem" value="">
<input type="hidden" name="savequery" value="">
</form>
</body>
</html>
I would like the map to load up when I go to the url right away. So
right when you type it in the address box and html page load that the
map would too.
Thanks for you time.

Hi Albert,
if I understand right, you have a page with an initialize button and
when you click it you get a page with a map and this works fine, ok?
So send us the html-code of your page with the button. Perhaps we can
"create" an example url for you which you can put in the adress
field of
the browser.

It could be helpful, if you explain to us, how you want to load the map:
- do want to load it from a menu or from a link?
- or should your map be part of an html-page and and shall sit in a div
or an iframe?
