[mapguide-users] Open map and Zoom to data

[Ismael Cams]

You could make add another "hidden" frame to your frameset. Pass the incoming
parameters to the hidden frame and perform zoom and selection actions in
this hidden frame.

Something like:

<frameset rows="0,100,*" frameborder="NO" border="0" framespacing="0">
	<?php
			if(isset($params)){
				echo "<frame src=\"hidden.php?$params\" name=\"hidden\"/>";
			}else{
				echo "<frame src=\"hidden.php\" name=\"hidden\"/>";
			}
       ?>
<frame ... />
<frame ... />
</frameset>

You will also have to check first in the hidden page if the map is already
initiated before selecting and zooming. There are some examples on the forum
how to achieve this.
