Re: [UMN_MAPSERVER-USERS] question on query

[Albert Anderson]

Hi Manfred,

 Okay. I want to able to serach by TWP(township), RNG(range), and SCT(sections).

Why do you need to put java extensions on the end of them?  I dont know how to do that. The contents comes from the parcels shp file which TWP, RNG, and SCT are the field names in the file.

I want the result in a highlighted element in the image map. That would be ideal. If not  I can get a table working that would be okay too.

I am using html code in dreamweaver.  No perl or php used.

Here is a site that I am going by kinda

thanks,
Albert

Hi Albert,

I can try to help, but I have no idea, what you are trying to do.

- What is TWP, RNG and so on?

- You write, you want to have drop down and text boxes. In my opinion
you have to code these elements in HTML perhaps with _javascript_
extensions. Do you know how to do that? Where does the contents of the
drop downs come from?

- What result do you want to have after submit? A highlighted element in
the image and/or a table with detail data of the selected element?

- I'm sure there are sites which do likely functions. Did you look at
some example sites?

- Do you use some scripting language like perl or php to dynamically
create the html pages or are they static?
