[Mapserver-users] Mapserver layers selection

[Björn Platzen]

Hello Alessandro,

You could provide a <select> in your template-file like:

<select multiple name="layer">
        <option value="water" selected> Water Features 
        <option value="roads"> Transportation 
        <option value="states" selected> State Boundaries
	<option value="state_label" > State Labels 
</select>

The option values should be the names of your layers.
