[Geomoose-users] Mouseover map area to show pop up or link

Hi all,

I have succeeded in implementing your code on a polygon data set but with 
point data I think there is probably an issue. There seem to be a 
fundamental problem that I am not aware of. I have checked and rechecked the 
templates, the mapfile and as for the code its the same. There is something 
probably funny with the querybypoint as opposed to querybyshape? Any idea 
Len (its kinda your brain child?)?

Franz
