Hi,
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">Was wondering if anyone has seen/built an example of embedding (or overlaying) a web form on top of a map.</div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">Basically I want to be able to edit attributes of a feature right in the map. Click the feature, and a form appears related to the actual feature. Labels /FORM elements follow a polyline for example.</div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">My first aplication will apply some Address range setting form elements to each end of a line for editing. I’ve already figured out how to display the elements in a raster output through Mapserver, but still pondering the web (edit) form aspects.</div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">Some initial thoughts:</div>
<div class="">
<ul class="MailOutline">
<li class="">Could a output template be devised to output a rotated (CSS) web form with the approriate pixel spacing of the elements right from Mapserver. I think so, even so far as rotating individual form elements in the result. Seems like a bit of an uphill
battle though . . .</li><li class="">Could a LandScape/Portrait FORM have a rotated background image applied to it, based on the preplanned end point locations on the map. This actually seems the quickest to implement, but I wonder if it helps at all with other feature types, or
if it would be specific to this first need. It would be nice to implement a method for any feature type for example, like being able to edit the edges of a polygon.</li></ul>

<div class="">My first need:</div>
<div class=""><br class="">

<div class=""><font face="Courier" class=""><br class="">
</font></div>
<div class=""><font face="Courier" class=""> [min_left_add] [street_name] [max_left_add]</font></div>
<div class=""><font face="Courier" class="">O - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - O <— line representation</font></div>
<div class=""><font face="Courier" class=""> [min_right_add] [street_type] [max_right_add]</font></div>
<div class=""><br class="">

</div>
<div class="">or</div>
<div class=""> </div>
<div class=""><font face="Courier" class=""> O</font></div>
