<p class=MsoNormal style='margin-bottom:12.0pt'>Wow, I am impressed! What a
cool map that is being displayed on my screen! hehe :)<br>
<br>
Thanks for the reply.<br>
<br>
Guess I am set in solution 2.<br>
<br>
Just another question. I don't see SLD BODY on WMS Spec, but I see it on SLD
profile for WMS. And it also states:<br>
"GetMap is defined in WMS 1.3. The SLD profile for WMS defines additional
parameters allowing clients to request layers to be portrayed according to some
specified style."<br>
<br>
Do you know any map server that doesn't support SLD profile for WMS, but
supports WMS? I am just curious about it, because imho it doesn't make sense
splitting SLD profile for WMS from WMS spec.<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class=MsoNormal>Not sure I understand your plan here but sounds like
overkill - and<br>
may kill off the browser if you have too much data.<br>
