[Mapserver-users] JavaScript vs MapScript for interface development...

[AMC Story]

Dear all,

At the moment, I've set up a basic MapServer application which is now running 
fine.  However, I'm not too happy with the interface, which follows the model 
set out in the demo and the tutorial examples.  I don't find it all that user-
friendly or intuitive, so I'm looking to develop the interface so as to allow 
users to use familiar tools like zoomin and zoomout buttons, pan arrows and 
checkboxes for turning layers on and off.

It seems that this functionality can be implemented, and that I have a choice 
between either using MapScript or JavaScript.  Does anyone have any comments to 
make as to the relative merits of each approach?  I've had a look through the 
archives but haven't come across anything on this subject.

Any input gratefully recieved!

Many thanks,
Ali
