[mapserver-users] mouse over map (FWD)

[Steve Lime]

Hi Thomas: I've attached a simpler version of this stuff that was used
to actually do the weather version. In this case a perl script is used
to build XML files that are then read by an XML enabled version of the
mapplet. The XML files boil down to something like an image map and the
applet interprets that image map for mouse overs...

You can see this application in action at
http://thoreau.dnr.state.mn.us/cgi-bin/mapdoqs.pl. You have to zoom
in a bit to see the DOQs and then look for little red dots to mouse
over. That data is from the USGS GNIS database.

Oops. It should be http://thoreau.dnr.state.mn.us/weather/map.html

This was a good example on weather use of MS.

Today, I could not find this URL. Anyone could help me.
