<p class="MsoNormal">I’m having a hard time interpreting how to properly execute runtime cgi variable substitution using an <input> of type=text.

<p class="MsoNormal">If I replace ‘%county%’ with a sample county attribute value in single quotes the EXPRESSION works and is displayed on the returned html template.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Currently my html input variable in the template looks like this :<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">…and my mapfile variable to be substituted for looks like this:<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> LAYER<o:p></o:p></p>
