<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">Hello list,</FONT>
</P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">I have a little question. Perhaps it is a UMN Mapserver Mapfile question, but perhaps you can help me a little bit.</FONT>
</P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">I try to show a WMS layer in OpenLayers. For this I made a mapfile. In this mapfile I realise a layer like this:</FONT>
</P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">LAYER</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial"> NAME 'symbol'</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial"> TYPE POLYGON</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial"> </FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial"> CONNECTIONTYPE postgis</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial"> CONNECTION 'host=*** user=*** password=*** dbname=***'</FONT>

<BR><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial"> END</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial"> END </FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">END</FONT>
</P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">All other layers in this mapfile works, so I think the mapfile header is correct.</FONT>
</P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">And now I try to test the layer in my OpenLayers. For this I try this:</FONT>
</P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">var urlArray =["<A HREF="http://***/cgi-bin/mapserv.exe">http://***/cgi-bin/mapserv.exe</A>?", "</FONT><A HREF="http://***/cgi-bin/mapserv.exe?"><U><FONT COLOR="#0000FF" SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">http://***/cgi-bin/mapserv.exe?</FONT></U></A><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">"];</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">var mapFile2 = "../htdocs/"+pfad+"/Maps/Hintergrund.map";</FONT>
</P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">var symbolLayer = new OpenLayers.Layer.WMS("Symbollayer", urlArray, {map:mapFile2, layers:"symbol", transparent:"true"},{singleTile: true, ratio:1});</FONT></P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">symbolLayer.setIsBaseLayer(false); </FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">map.addLayer(symbolLayer);</FONT>
</P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">But I see nothing. In The Layerswitcher the layer is shown, but I see no map. All other layers work, so that I think the extent and so on is right. I think this is a UMN problem, but perhaps somebody has an idea here? If I try to show the GetMap request directly in the Browser it does'nt work, but I get no error message or message that something is wrong.</FONT></P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">Hope that somebody can help me.</FONT>
