<DIV>Actually that is not a very good idea and bad coding practice.</DIV>
<DIV>Your problem was including {layers:'basic'} the word basic is not some
variable relating to type or styule of layers it is an actual layer name in the
example WMS. Instead of "basic" you should have your layer names listed there.
So your code should be:</DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2><FONT face="Times New Roman" size=3>var loadedMap =
new OpenLayers.Layer.MapServer( "OpenLayers WMS",<BR>"</FONT><A
href="http://localhost:8085/cgi-bin/mapserv.exe?layer=states_poly&layer=states_line"><FONT
title="http://localhost:8085/cgi-bin/mapserv.exe?layer=states_poly&layer=states_line CTRL + Click to follow link"
face="Times New Roman"
size=3>http://localhost:8085/cgi-bin/mapserv.exe?</FONT></A><FONT
face="Times New Roman" size=3>",<BR>{map: '/ms4w/apps/app/test.map', mode:'map',
format: 'png',<BR>transparent:'false', layers:
'states_poly','states_line'},<BR>{gutter: 15});</FONT><BR></FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2> hope that helps</FONT></DIV>
