[mapserver-users] template initialization

Wed May 16 20:30:09 EDT 2001

Hi List

I'm working with Ross Searle's Arcview utility. I'm confused about how the
template is initialized without an 'init' file. The generated template
starts out with a bunch of form input tags with CGI variables yet there is
no form tag. How is something like [img] retrieved if nothing is submited to
the server?

the template starts out like this

<html>
<input type='hidden' name='theimg' value='[img]'>
<input type='hidden' name='themode' value='[mode]'>
<input type='hidden' name='themap' value='[map]'>
<input type='hidden' name='theimgext' value='[mapext]'>
<input type='hidden' name='themapext' value='[mapext]'>
<input type='hidden' name='theref' value='[ref]'>
<input type='hidden' name='thescale' value='[scalebar]'>
<input type='hidden' name='theleg' value='[legend]'>
<head>...

Thanks,
Chad
