[Mapserver-users] itemquery on Mapserver 3.6

[Michael Schulz]

Hi Thomas,

> The javascript executed for example on the onClick-event of a button looks like this:
>         function startquery()  {
>                 document.mapserv.target="_self";
>                 document.mapserv.mode.checked=true;
>                 document.mapserv.mode.value="itemquery";
>                 document.mapserv.qlayer.value="cityareas";
>                 document.mapserv.filteritem.value="NAME";
>                 document.mapserv.filter.value="Munich";

I think the problem is that you don't refer to a layer specific filter. If you want to assign a filter via URL use this syntax "map_layername_filter=yourfiltervalue". It might also be important to include in your filterstring how to query for results (string, logical, regex
comparison), for regex comparisons you should enclose your statement in //, e.g. "/your_regex/", for logical expression in () for string expressions in "".

HTH, Michael
