Thank you so much for the response Charles. The showInfo function seems to
fire once at init but not upon click, as expected. I'm having trouble
identifying where exactly is choking, as stepping through openlayers.js line
by line is about as clear as mud, and I'm not even seeing where the event is
being sent to the Mapserver (despite my mapserver having a logged record of
the request being fetched).
I slipped in the eventhandler, but my newbishness is preventing me from
using it effectively. What line would I place the breakpoint on to ensure
that upon click, when the event is sent to my mapserver for the query, that
I can see what results are being sprung and what part is choking up?
