[mapserver-users] Problem with TestSuite itemquery/

[Lowell Filak]

Judging by the demos page I believe the demos are for 3.5. Could you send your mapfile to the list for debugging?
Is the html you sent a direct copy->paste? If so value= on the ABBREVNAME line shouldn't be quoted and Cina should possibly be China.
