If you hover over a point very simple query output is stuffed in a div. Steve Your example above is tantalizing. What it shows with the Identify tool is just what I'm trying to learn how to do, but it contains a lot of inter-twingled code from multiple libraries, and I can't seem to open and read all the files, so it's a bit beyond my reach. I know how AJAX works, and I was able to get close by putting an AJAX call in the template file called by my layer and reading the XML file generated in the template file after a click in Query mode, but that approach just doesn't seem right. Too kludgey. In the AJAX method you mention above, where do you intercept the normal mapfile sequence from the mouse-click to the layer's call to the template, to the final map redraw? Do you even use a template file to resolve variables, or do you get those some other way? Is there a simpler demo out there that demonstrates the technique? I'm sure this is simpler than I think, but I just don't see it yet. Any suggestions for the thick-headed? -- - Bill Thoen GISnet - www.gisnet.com 303-786-9961 ___ mapserver-users mailing list mapserver-users@lists.osgeo.org http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/mapserver-users
AW: [mapserver-users] How do I Control QUERY Output?
Hi, You cann't insert html to a html document by using a url. There is nothing like the img tag for pictures. You have to use ajax to request your query. Then you can put the result with innerHTML to your element.

From a simple MapServer HTML interface I switch to Query mode and click on a map feature, and templates I've assigned to the layer fill with data ... and display in a new page.

Re: AW: [mapserver-users] How do I Control QUERY Output?
Thanks again, Arnd. That solution occurred to me this morning, so I'm going to try that out next. The other acceptable solution would be to open a new pop-up window and send the output there, but I think the AJAX method will be the better one for what I want it to do.
