[mapserver-users] zooming to a point feature in 3.5 version

[Steve Lime]

The problem probably is that the results of the [shpmid] replacement are
not being escaped properly. Without being escaped there will be a space
between the coordinate values which may bust certain browsers. You can
get an escaped version of most parameters by appending _esc to the end
of the term to be replaced. Try [shpmid_esc] and see if that helps.

Ok, thanks to Brian Fischer <bfischer at mpls.houstoneng.com> 
for advice regarding itemquery. Finally I've found query examples for
3.5 version at
http://maps.dnr.state.mn.us/mapserver_demos/tests3.5/itemquery/test.html

and all goes ok for polygon features. I have trouble zooming to a point
feature instead 
a polygon feature. I need to make the same query like in example 1
using points features instead polygons.

using: 
src="/cgi-bin/mapserv?map=[map]&codent=1000&mode=itemquerymap&mapext=shapes&qlayer=[qlayer]"
height="300" width="300"

in my template, works for polygons 

I've tryed this for point features in my template:

src="/cgi-bin/mapserv?map=[map]&codent=1000&mode=itemquerymap&mapext=shapes&qlayer=[qlayer]&scale=5000&mapxy=[shpmid]"
height="300" width="300"
and doesn't work

my map is:

MAP

NAME testzoom
SHAPEPATH "data"
SIZE 300 300
EXTENT 0 0 1 1

WEB
IMAGEPATH "../tmp/
IMAGEURL "/~laur/tmp/"
END

QUERYMAP

TEMPLATE testzoom.htm
END
END
END 


Thank you for any help,

Lawrence
