[mapserver-users] Checkboxes

[Beth Baily]

Steve,

The problem was that in my checkbox lines, the variables were lower case
([roads_check]) while the layer names in the map file were upper case
(Roads).  Once I changed the names to match in case ([Roads_check]), the
problem was solved.

Thanks for your suggestion.

Beth
