working with zoompoint using geographic coordinates {Scanned} {Scanned}

Hi,

You can do it with cgi mapserver. Check mapxy, scale, mapsize, etc.
cgi variables. You can create a form with input fileds having the name
of the mapserver cgi variables (some hidden field neccessary e.g. map) and
submit it to the maserv cgi. You can use javascript to checkthe input
values.

Bye
Zoltan
