[Mapserver-users] how to use HTML Legends with Steve Lime's DHTML interface

[Steve Lime]

Hi Emilio: I'm working on something similar. Just haven't had time to
make progress. Basically I was thinking of a dLegend object. Like the
dBox interface I would use an anchor image to place a DTHML layer
containing (with scrollbars) on a page. The layer would contain exactly
what you mention below, an HTML legend. There's a good example of such a
control at cbs.sportsline.com, the scores at a glance tool. I want to
implement it using the same library (CBE) as dBox uses.

Bottom line, I have no solution for you, only an idea. If you make
progress please let me know.

I've implemented Steve Lime's DHTML interface with dBox (javascript 
rubber band). It's working great (thanks!).

Now I'd like to add an HTML legend. I can get my map file to generate 
the HTML for the legend using a stand-alone CGI line; that seems to
work 
fine. But I can't figure out how to use that line to insert the HTML 
into my web page.

I know some DHTML/DOM/javascript. What I'd like to know is how to take

the result of something like:
http://mysite/cgi-bin/mapserv?map=/var/www/html/mymapfile.map&mode=legend

and insert it into a web page, without using Frames.

Thanks for your help. Cheers,

-Emilio Mayorga
