<DIV>Hi Julian: You might try the [items] and [values] template tags combined
with a little JavaScript. Those tags output a delimited list of items and values
for a feature or set of features. You could split the output into arrays and
display however you like. The attributes are just slammed together into 1 comma
delimited string, so this approach won't work if your attribute data contains
commas I fear. The same template in theory could be used for any layer then...
You could use new-style templates (e.g. Via output formats) with template
includes and handle this with 2 files- the main template and the shared
include...</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>I notice those tags aren't documented so I'll create a ticket to do so.
Should also probably enhance those tags, at least the values one, to take some
simple formatting options.</DIV>

<P><FONT face=Arial size=2>Hi list,</FONT> </P>
<P><FONT face=Arial size=2>I too want to serve GetFeatureInfo requests.
However, I wonder if it is necessary to have a template per layer, when all I
want to do is "show all attribute values in a HTML table". The thing is, I
have a handful of services with approx. 40 layers in each. Each layer has on
average a dozen attributes, so all in all, I am looking to simplify
maintenance of 2000 HTML table cells. Has anyone done anything in a script or
otherwise, so that one can use the same template file on layers with varying
attribute lists?</FONT></P>
<P><FONT face=Arial size=2>I am considering utilising the fact that a TEMPLATE
statement can reference a URL: I imagine that this might refer to a
PHP-script, which takes e.g. a database table name, and returns a HTML
response with the column names. Has anyone done anything like this?</FONT></P>
