text at the bottom of the page referring to creating a new feature likely means
that you can create a new point/line/poly feature. As opposed to loading
the features from a shapefile or other datasource. This doesn't refer to
creating a new mapfile object. </FONT></SPAN></DIV>

creating a new class in the mapfile from the url<BR><BR></FONT></DIV>
<DIV>Hello all,</DIV>
<DIV> I was trying to use the mapsever
feature of adding/creating a new feature in the mapfile. I am trying to create
a new class and add the color properties for the mapfile from the url.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>This feature is listed in the mapsever website @ <A
href="http://mapserver.gis.umn.edu/docs/reference/cgi/controls">http://mapserver.gis.umn.edu/docs/reference/cgi/controls</A></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>the syntax for creating a new class is map_layername_class_0=new and the
url for adding color property would be </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT color=#003399><A
href="http://localhost/mapserv.exe?MODE=map&MAP=test.map&LAYERS=states&map_states_class_0=new&map_states_class_0_color=100">http://localhost/mapserv.exe?MODE=map&MAP=test.map&LAYERS=states&</FONT><FONT
color=#000000>map_states_class_0=new&map_states_class_0_color=100</A> 100
100</FONT></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>i guess this should work, it didnt give me any error but doesnt display
anything, i have tried some other possibilities too, but couldnt get it
working.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Does any one have an idea how to do it ..</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Thanks for your time ...</DIV>
