Re: [UMN_MAPSERVER-USERS] Make points on a map clickable + use criteria from MySQL

[Stephen Woodbridge]

One way to do this is with an imagemap that calls a javascript function 
it add the item to an array. Then you can fetch and use the array of 
items for whatever later.

Hi,

 Is there a way to make points on a map clickable? Basically I want the 
user to be able to look at the map and then select a subset of the 
points on it by clicking on them and then use this 'list' of points 
somewhere else. The points are stored in a shapefile which is displayed 
on top of a raster layer.

 Also, with the same points in the shapefile, can I display them 
differently depending on a value in a mysql database? Each user will 
have their own data about that point - mainly whether or not they have 
been there - and I want to be able to show points they have visited in a 
different way to points they haven't.

Thanks!
