[mapserver-users] zoom to fixed scale (fwd)

[Kralidis, Tom]

Hi,

What sort of problems are you running into?  A couple of potential problems
I see:

- one of your scale option tags is closed by a script tag
- document.mapserv.scale should be document.mapserv.scale.value

Note that the scale variable should be used with the mapxy variable.

i'm trying to have a "Zoom to Fixed Scale" on my webpage, but am unsure
about my javascript. the pulldown in my html looks like:

<tr><td><font>Zoom to Fixed Scale:</font>
<select name="fixscale" onchange="fixedScale()">
<option value="[scale]" selected>Current - 1:[scale]</script>
<option value="24000">1:24,000
<option value="1000000">1:1,000,000
<option value="2000000">1:2,000,000
</select></td></tr>

and my javascript is:

function fixedScale() {
document.mapserv.imgbox.value = 0 + " " + 0 + " " + [mapwidth] + " " +
[mapheight];
document.mapserv.imgxy.value = ([mapwidth]-1)/2.0 + " " +
([mapheight]-1)/2.0;
document.mapserv.scale =
document.mapserv.fixscale.options[document.mapserv.fixscale.selectedIndex].v
alue;  
document.mapserv.submit();  
}

looks okay to me, i can't figure out what the problem is.
any help?

thanks.
