Lining up tiles and styling

[Stephen Woodbridge]

Ed,

Have you looked at http://ka-map.maptools.org/

This is a google like AJAX client that uses php and mapserver on the 
backend to generate tiles. Even if you do not want to use the whole 
thing, you might look at tile.php to see how they resolve these issues.
