I have a high level query here, as to how to proceed with developing with OL. Let's say, I have my data in Pg, and am serving it as WMS via MapServer. I want to implement WMSGetFeatureInfo. I have the following two websites
http://dev.openlayers.org/releases/OpenLayers-2.8/doc/apidocs/files/OpenLayers/Control/WMSGetFeatureInfo-js.html and http://openlayers.org/dev/examples/getfeatureinfo-popup.html and the source code of WMSGetFeatureInfo.js Am I wrong or right in thinking that between the above two URLs and the Javascript file, I don't have enough information on how to implement this? Where and how am I supposed to figure out the various parameters and options for constructing the instance of WMSGetFeatureInfo and implement it correctly? For example, as reported in another thread, MapServer is reporting that I have an "Unsupported INFO_FORMAT value (text/html)". The Javascript code shows that "text/html" is hard coded as the default value for infoFormat, but I have no idea what the possible MIME type values are that are acceptable. I guess, I am asking for a strategy from you experienced OL developers... where do I look for all the options and parameters for the various constructers? -- Puneet Kishor http://www.punkish.org Carbon Model http://carbonmodel.org Charter Member, Open Source Geospatial Foundation http://www.osgeo.org Science Commons Fellow, http://sciencecommons.org/about/whoweare/kishor Nelson Institute, UW-Madison http://www.nelson.wisc.edu ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Assertions are politics; backing up assertions with evidence is science ======================================================================= Sent from Madison, WI, United States _______________________________________________ Users mailing list [email protected] http://openlayers.org/mailman/listinfo/users
