Thanks for the links, it saves me hundred of clicks.

I'm sure I have read those link many times, from the example it has 
groups of zoom to,

'Communities':['static:rural',[
['Arch Cape',[7317188,796289.34000000,7322479,805653]],
['Bradwood',[7455671,934752.42000000,7459244,937982]],
['Cannon Beach Junction',[7329878,845037,7334717,850082]]]]

when I try to use groups on my Jump To function it doesn't change the 
extent and it only shows 'Communities' but Arch Cape and the others are 
not. How did this groups really works?

Thank you Eli, I've learned recently that it was a MapFile scale 
configuration that did the tricks.

I know this had been talk alot but here it goes, I hope someone out 
there had the time to wrote a comprehensive step-by-step manual. Maybe 
with an example project building webgis with geomoose. What to do first, 
where to go next, which file had to be edited, what is the use of one 
function, how to track an error, etc (too much huh :-) )

My experience on using geomoose for the first time and as not a webgis 
specialities, using the available documentation really had make me 
almost going nowhere. I'm sorry for throwing so much demand.
