[mapserver-users] img.x versus map.x

[Mike Smith]

THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU!!!!

This fixed it!  I knew it was something simple, but I had no idea that 
the name of my image was important!  I guess I'm just a little lacking 
on understanding the depths of how HTML forms work.

Thanks a ton!  What a great development community Mapserver has!
