[mapserver-users] mapext=shapes and projection on the fly

[Debbie Pagurek]

Hi all,

I have a question regarding queries: 
I have a map file in which I am using the PROJECTION tag to project on-the-fly from latlong to lcc.  When I click on a polygon, I want the query results to zoom to this polygon and hilite it.  However, when I use mapext=shapes, the coordinates are in latlong, not the projected coordinates and as a result, the map is zoomed to a tiny area that is NOT where I clicked.  Is this by design or is this a bug?  Is there a way to force mapext=shapes to return values in projected coordinates?  I am still using Mapserver CGI and haven't 'graduated' yet to mapscripting...

Mapserver 3.5 on Linux

Thanks,
