[Mapserver-users] Want to respond to user clicks

[Dean Gadoury]

Depending on the complexity of what you need to do it may even be 
possible to do this with no scripting at all. By using TOLERANCE and 
TOLERANCEUNITS in the layer object you can, in effect, query features 
within a certain radius of a user click. If only your landmarks layer is 
queryable then a click will return a list of landmarks within the given 
distance from a user click.
