[mapserver-users] Point Data

[Steve Lime]

Assuming you're using the CGI version you *MUST* explicitly turn layers on using the layer or layers form variables if layers are not given a STATUS DEFAULT in the map file. The CGI application automatically turns all non-DEFAULT layers off when fired.

You have 3 options:

  - add a control to the web app to allow the user to toggle that layer
  - set STATUS DEFAULT
  - add a hidden variable like <input type="hidden" name="layer" value="MACPERCH">

If you're not using the CGI version then we need more information to help solve the problem.
