Hi Heath,

I've looked at your application and have a suggestion:

The first line of your form in the central frame is
<input type="hidden" name="mode" value="browse">

You therefore need to make sure that you reset this value in querycheck()
document.mainmap.mode.value="nquery";
*before* you submit the form.

As this is all in the one frame, it's not an issue of frames vs no frames, it's just a matter of getting the javascript working.

Subject: Mapserver Question...


Hello,

    I'm hoping that I can ask a question of Tim Mackey or any other
Mapserver gurus you have there.  I'm developing a web page using Frames
and Mapserver just like you've got here on your site, but I'm having a
problem with the query function working in a frames web page.  I get no
results.  If I take my .map file and put it into a flat HTML page, I can
query the layers just fine, but they don't return anything in my
frames-based page.  My question is, did you have to overcome any similar
problems when you set up your page?  Are there some key things I should
know about how to get querying working in a frames/Mapserver page?  I'm
using Mapserver 3.6.1 and here's my URL if you care to look:

http://cnrit.tamu.edu/maps/map_init.html

Click on the very last button, the one that says "FRAMES VERSION" on it.

Thank you in advance for any advice you can offer.
