Have you looked at openlayers (http://www.openlayers.org/)?

Hi, I'm looking to create a web-based map-browser (of a similar style to Google Maps etc) where the user only sees a small part of the overall map at any one time, and can scroll around it. I've just started looking into MapServer as a possible tool to help me acheive this. So far I've run through the basic tutorials, and have created a small static map, in a projection of my choice with an overlayed geographically-located bitmap image. By changing values in the .map file (especially the extent) I can zoom in and move around the map. Not too difficult so far. But what i'd really like is some way to serve sub-tiles of the map to a javascript program, the size and location of the tiles depending on parameters passed from the javascript. I have no idea how to achieve this with MapServer. Can someone point me in the right direction? Which features of MapServer will help me do what I want? What should I be looking for in the documentation? Thanks, Dave
