Thanks Steve,
Unfortunately, OUTLINECOLOR -1 -1 -1 doesn't work. It seems the vertical
line gets the color of the polygon fill color, not outline color.
Yes, I have been looking into OpenLayers. It's a interesting project but
not yet mature enough to build full-featured online mapping application
(producing legend, changing symbol color on the fly, identify, filter by
attributes etc.).
Anyway, I gave it a try. But the same results. See the screen shot.

As I said, I see the line when I directly get the image from Mapserver,
suggesting this is a problem of Mapserver itself.
Both OpenLayers.Layer.MapServer and Google Map's GTileLayer simply grab
images from Mapserver. In this regard, it is understandable that both
end up with the same results.

Hello Ei,
Have you looked at ka-map or preferably openLayers? OpenLayers allows
you to easily merge mapserver and Google into a single application and
does all the heavy lifting.
Regarding your extra lines, this is might be cause by the fact that the
polygon is getting clipped to the extents of your tile. You might try
setting the OUTLINECOLOR -1 -1 -1 for the polygon layer so that it is
not draw. I do not think you would run into these problems with OpenLayers.

Hello experts,
I have a weird problem that Mapserver images get one pixel wide
vertical lines when they contain shapefiles that extend beyond the
images (shapefiles are cut at the edge of the images).
I'm developing a Google Maps application in which Mapserver layers are
overlaid. As Google Map requests tiles of the map image, Mapserver
sends them back. This usually works excellent. But when a tile has a
shapefile extending beyond it, the tile got a kind of border line
visible.
Please see the screen shot. You'll see two vertical lines 256-pixel
apart (which is the tile size).

I tried PNG and GIF with the same results. This should have nothing to
do with Google Maps because I still see the line when pulling the tile
image directly onto the browser.
Polygons are added to the map with PHP/Mapscript. Transparency, fill
color and outline color are set.
$layer->set('transparency',"30");
...
$poStyle = ms_newStyleObj($class_tmp);
$poStyle->outlinecolor->setRGB(255,0,0);
$poStyle->color->setRGB(200, 100, 0);
Any workaround?
