[Mapserver-users] How to view the query results in a separate frame.

[Michael Schulz]

Hi Maria,

i don't have a short snipplet that does it, it is all incorporated in 
more javascript functionality, but a simple way to do it could be:

- catch the submission of your main mapserver form with:

<form name="mapserverform" ... onSubmit="chooseTarget();">

- check in chooseTarget() if mapserver mode is query, then we want to 
redirect the result:

function chooseTarget() {
if (document.mapserverform.mode.value=="query")
   document.mapserverform.target="queryFrame";
document.mapserverform.submit();
}

When you've selected query mode and you query the map then your frame 
named "queryFrame" will get the result. You should adjust your templates 
accordingly. Keep in mind, that this procedure doesn't change your main 
mapserver frame. You won't get a hilited query map with this simple 
redirection.

HTH, Michael
