[Mapserver-users] Mouse Over

[Bart van den Eijnden]

Hi Alex,

in Chameleon (www.maptools.org), which is based on PHP/Mapscript, there is 
functionality for this. It is called the "MapTips" widget. In this widget 
the approach you sketch is used (the image map approach). So if you want 
to know about performance etc, try it out with Chameleon. I don't know 
about the Mapplet XML approach, maybe somebody else can comment on this 
one.

Best regards,
Bart
