G'Day all,

Is there a simple means of getting mapserver to zoom to the extent of a =
specific layer (or even all layers).  I only ask because I noticed that =
when producing the GetCapatibilites XML document (I am using MapServer =
as a WMS Server) I noticed that it output the following tags for each =
layer, as well as the overall extent of all layers.  Tags look like =
this:

        <LatLonBoundingBox minx=3D"72" miny=3D"-55.9612" =
maxx=3D"170.731" maxy=3D"-2.10025" />
        <BoundingBox SRS=3D"EPSG:4326" minx=3D"72" miny=3D"-55.9612" =
maxx=3D"170.731" maxy=3D"-2.10025" />

I am basically trying to implement an ESRI style "Zoom to Layer" type =
button and I don't want to hardcode the layer extents if I can get away =
with it. =20

Server=3D WIN XP running IIS with Mapplet and JavaScript

Cheers

Thomas Bartlett
