[mapserver-users] Simple WMS client script

[Dave Vieglais]

Dear MapServer users,
What started with some messing around with some simple interfaces for
rendering OGC WMS content, ended up as a simple, generic map interface
that can be inserted into almost any HTML document to produce a dynamic
map.  The script does not perform any resource discovery and at this
stage does not support feature query of features.  

Note that this script is not intended to provide a full featured map
interface, but it is still fun to use where a static picture doesn't
provide the information needed and all that's needed is a simple,
minimal effort spatial viewer.

All the data sources for the examples are from WMS compliant mapserver
installations, hence the relevance to this list.

The documentation and code can be found at:

I also took the liberty of inserting a demo in the Mapserver wiki.  See

regards,
  Dave V.
