<p style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; font: 11.0px Arial">I am using mapserver 5.2 on MacOsx 10.4.1 and ms4w 5.2 on WindowsXP ProSP3. The app is plain vanilla- no python, mapscript, java, or third party interfaces. Just straight html without frames, even the legend is html on the map page. The few lines of javascript I use are not app related, just invoking windows, sizing, calling a local app for gps download and the button to this one url for print.html. All files are local to the server except this client WMS layer.</p>
