Hi everybody,

I am developing a MMS application, based on the GMAP example.  One would 
find in the navigation bar a simple zoom and a selection tool. With the 
latter the user should be enabled to draw a rectangle on the map to mark 
the selection area. But instead of reloading the map, I want the 
application to show the matching results in a separate table while still 
(or if the map has to be reloaded: again) showing the bounding box on the 
map.  There is a nice example on http://www.geographynetwork.com/ using 
ArcIMS. Here, it highlights very nicely the selected area.

I didn't find anything in the mailing list archive. Does anybody have an 
idea how to do that?

Thanks for any help,

Stefan
