[mapserver-users] tiff problem,

[Pericles S. Nacionales]

Pushkar,

Check the line "<option value="mosaic_1999_false" [mosaic99f_select]> 1999
Mosaic" against your map file. It should be:

<option value="mosaic_1999_false" [mosaic_1999_false]> 1999 Mosaic

The values should match the layer name on your map file.
