I guess you'd need to be specific on what you mean by "javascript control for 
this". Typically this means moving from a form-based interface where the whole 
page refreshes to one where most of the work happens on the client and 
MapServer is just used to respond to image or query requests. While you *could* 
write your own I think it's much more productive to look at one of the 
frameworks out there, of which a couple have already been mentioned. 
Personally, I'm a big OpenLayers fan with an OL client fronting MapServer-based 
services.  Also, as a php user p.mapper (http://www.pmapper.net/) may be off 
interest and there are others. -Steve

Hi Matias,

I will take the occasion to suggest that you also take a look at
Dracones, a new framework I recently released for MapServer, which
provides easy handling of basic mapping services like pan and zoom,
among other things:

Best,

Thanks for both answers. But I was looking for something simple. Just a piece 
of code to replace de "old-fashioned" zoom and pan form controls.
Do something simple exist or I have to start thinking in moving to a mapserver 
framework?

Thx!
Mato.-
