<DIV>Thanks Josh, </DIV>
<DIV><BR class=webkit-block-placeholder></DIV>
<DIV>I looked over the WMS GetFeatureInfo request, and this is exactly what I
need. For some reason, though the only data I am getting back looks like
this:</DIV>
<DIV>

<DIV>The feature number appears to correspond to the correct place in the dbf
file, but none of the rest of the feature data is being returned. I don't
understand. Does anyone have any ideas? </DIV>

is another example that you could probably start with for assistance on the
client side -- you'd need to modify it to work with Google Maps (eg using
Google's methods to get at their bbox and other criteria while creating the
queryUrl, and to parse the result) but the concept is the same, so this should
get you started.</DIV>
