[mapserver-users] querymap mode

[Stephen Lime]

Querymaps can be used just like normal maps. The only difference is how/when
they are generated. You access them using the [img] replacement tag in templates
associated with queries or using special modes like itemquerymap or nquerymap.

Hi,
Just wondering why querymaps can be used only in <img ...> tags. This make
it difficult to pass args from the URL :(
Wouldn't it better to allow additional mode(s), for example:
browseitemquerymap :) which would save image (querymap) and return template
?
Mapscript (or even javascript) can be used to provide args to <img ...> tag,
but 'mode' would be simpler and also future posts with doubts that querymaps
are not 'normal maps' can be avoided.
