changing map file variables

[Robin.Ellis at dnr.qld.gov.au]

Hello.

I'm attempting to change the query template for a specified layer in my
mapfile on the fly using a hidden form variable. I have been able to do this
type of thing successfully for data sources etc of layers within my mapfile,
but I can't get the query template to change.

Here's the 2 form variable names I've tried (for a layer named 'areas' that
has a query template intially set to 'reg1javdisplay.html'):

  <input type="hidden" name="map_areas_query_template"
value="reg1display.html">

and 

  <input type="hidden" name="map_areas_template" value="reg1display.html">

Neither of these options is working at this stage, however I know that the
form input variable is being sent to mapserver by reading the URL.

Does anybody know of the appropriate string to use in order to access the
query template, or is this attribute of a layer un-changeable?

I'm using MS 3.3003 on a UNIX platform.

Thanks

Rob
