What is ids in imagemap example?

[Stephen Woodbridge]

These are variables that can be set via the mapserver cgi interface or 
via a cookie. So in your case you could do something like:

http://localhost/cgi-bin/mapserv?mode=map&map=....&ids=123,456,789

and this would substitute into the %ids% string:

EXPRESSION ('[COUN]' in '123,456,789')

The exact syntax obvious needs to match the correctly to its usage.
