David,
thank you very much. I tried all combinations of ' and " and I got every time the same polygon 1407 highlighted. Now it works!

Manfred,
This should work as a qstring:

http://www.elbe-link.de/cgi-bin/map_test1/mapserv?map=test1.map&mode=itemquery&qlayer=zel1&qstring=([ZELNR]=1405)

Albert, the concept is that you have to use html and/or javascript on your page to build a http request (url or post) to send to MapServer. I would look at the code behind Lawrence's example.

Hi Albert,

- I mentioned javascript (not java) because sometimes you need it to make a web based gui more comfortable. For a first try it is not necessary.

- Thanks for the explantions of TWP and so on and for the example url.

- Lawrence did give you a good example.

- Perhaps to make it more clear, how to put an url together here two examples:

1) Try 
http://www.elbe-link.de/cgi-bin/map_test1/mapserv?map=test1.map&mode=map&mapext=2545900+5673000+2547600+5674400
you should get an image with some polygons (parcels) and their id numbers.

2) Try 
http://www.elbe-link.de/cgi-bin/map_test1/mapserv?map=test1.map&mode=itemquery&mapext=2545900+5673000+2547600+5674400&qlayer=zel1&qitem=ZELNR&qstring="1405";
we did a query for the polygon with the number 1405 in the data field "ZELNR". You should get an image with a highlighted polygon.

You see the differences in mode, qlayer, qitem and qstring.

At the moment I'm trying to put a qstring in the form "[ZELNR]=1405" together but it does not work. Sorry I have never worked with mode = itemquery and so on.

   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
   http://www.houstonengineeringinc.com/mapmorph_demo/mapserv.html

   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?
