[Mapserver-users] Focus immediately on a map feature

[Eduardo Spremolla]

What you need to use is a itemquery . look at this form:

<form method="GET" id="qrbs" action="/cgi-bin/mapserv" >
    <input type="hidden" name="map" id="map" value="[map]">
    <input type="hidden" id="ext" name="imgext" value="[mapext]">
    <input type="hidden" name="imgxy" value="[center]">
    <input type="hidden" name="mode" value="itemnquery">
    <input type="hidden" name="qlayer" value="rbs">
    <input type="hidden" name="map_rbs_filteritem" value="NOMBRE">
    Busqueda por radiobase <input type="text" id="rbs_name"
name="map_rbs_filter" value="">
    <input type="submit" name="Buscar" onClick="reparo2();">
</form>

here I search the rbs layer for a given name and got this template
filled:

<tr><td>[NOMBRE]</td><td>[nombdepto]</td></td>
<td><a
href="/cgi-bin/mapserv?map=[map]&imgext=[mapext]&imgxy=[center]&zoomdir=0&zoomsize=2&submit=Redibujar&mode=browse" >Browse</a></td></tr>
<tr><td colspan="6"><img border="2" src="[img]" height="300"
width="300"></td> </tr>


the second row in the table is what you wont: the feature zoomed map
