DHTML rubber-band box

Ethan, thank you for your response.  Unfortunately I am still having 
trouble. 
Here is the URL that displays my webpage with a red box in place of the 
map

http://sr08dmnspl/cgi-bin/mapserv.exe?layer=major_basins&zoomsize=2&map=d%3A%2FwebData%2Fwatershed%2Fmajor_basins.map&program=%2Fcgi-bin%2Fmapserv.exe&root=http%3A%2F%2Fsr08dmnspl%2Fwatershed&map_web_imagepath=.%2Ftmp%2F&map_web_imageurl=http%3A%2F%2Fsr08dmnspl%2Fwatershed%2Ftmp%2F

When I add 'mode=map' it displays my map, but it is on a blank webpage.
I have changed the extents of the map in my code and it still does not 
show my map.

Do you have any other suggestions?

Check your webserver logs and look at the URL it's submitting...Copy that 
and in a browse use it changing mode=browse to mode=map...If nothing 
displays then you most likely have your projection or extents wrong. This 
is how I initially figured out how to debug what was going on in the dhtml 
example.

I am trying to copy the code for the DHTML rubber-band box from the Itasca 
Demo and cannot get it to show my map. 
I am wondering what other code I must copy or change to make this work? 
I am able to get the gist of the Javascript code, but I am not familiar 
enough to write new code. 

So far I have copied the Javascript folder and most of the graphics from 
the Graphics folder into my drive. 
I have copied and inserted the portion of code below from the (Itasca) 
index.html into my index.html file. 

<!-- EDIT THE FORM ACTION --> 
    <form name="watershed_main" method="GET" 
action="/cgi-bin/mapserv.exe"> 

      <input type="hidden" name="layer" value="major_basins"> 
      <input type="hidden" name="layer" value="county"> 
      <input type="hidden" name="layer" value="MajRds"> 
      <input type="hidden" name="zoomsize" value=2> 

      <!-- EDIT THESE HIDDEN VARIABLES --> 
      <input type="hidden" name="map" 
value="d:/webData/watershed/major_basins.map"> 
      <input type="hidden" name="program" value="/cgi-bin/mapserv.exe">

      <input type="hidden" name="map_web_imagepath" value="./tmp/"> 
      <input type="hidden" name="map_web_imageurl" value="
http://sr08dmnspl/watershed/tmp/"> 
      <input type="submit" value="Start Application"></center> 


I have also copied the code below from the itasca_adds_dhtml.html file and 
placed it into my file called watershed_main.html 

Here is my watershed_main.html code 

<!-- watershed_main.html 
   This is the start of the interactive major watershed map. -->
