[Albert Anderson]

Hi Manfred,

 I want the parcel link when you click it to load into the image page. like this site
http://www.houstonengineeringinc.com/mapmorph_demo/mapserv.html Here are the screen shots.  I dont want the query results to show up in a new page or the image parcel.  I want it to all be in the html page.

Thanks,
Albert

Hello Albert,

sorry, I do not full understand your mail. Therefore I am not sure, what
you have on the screen and what you want to have. The code examples that
you gave: are these the template files which you use in your map file?

You wrote

"But I want to image of the parcel to load in the image map"

Do you mean you want a hilited parcel like in my example site? Or do you
want something like an image map in html (that means: a map-tag with
area definitions)?

For the hilited parcel you need a QUERYMAP object in your mapfile. For
example:

QUERYMAP
STATUS ON
STYLE HILITE
COLOR 0 255 255
END

Is your site available in internet, so me and others could have a look
at it?

If not, can you give me your html files and map file and an example
shapefile? I could put it on my webserver so we can look at it together
and I can make fast modifications.

Or at least can you give a screenshot with your whole application
including the result of a query?

Manfred
