[Mapserver-users] Browser anomalies

[Martin, Daniel]

Rob,

If this issue is that some browsers having problems with your querystrings,
you might troubleshoot this by switching your form tag to use method="post".
Worth a try, and couldn't hurt.  It would be interesting to see if the
problem still occurs.
