[Mapserver-users] dBox, Rosa, Macs, mapscript

[Liz Godwin]

Hello List,

I need to use a different means for navigation than Rosa for my
applications.  It does not seem to work on Mac computers.

At the moment I am working on a PHPMapscript application, however I
will have to change some CGI apps later.

With my PHP application, I have been looking into the dBox example as
an alternative to Rosa.  The reason I liked these examples is that I can
zoom into a rectangle and get a nice rubber band box.  The problem with
dBox is that it is complicated and I need only a small subset of the
code, but before diving into it I thought I would ask the list first.. 
can I use dBox without the mapserv object?  All I want from it is to
allow me to draw a box (or simple click) on a map image and then return
the coordinates in pixels. 

Should I bother with dBox?  Are there more simple examples out there? 
I'm sure this isn't hard to code, but I would rather not start over if I
can help it.  

On the same note, I am hoping to exploit the CBE javascript library so
I don't have to fret over cross-browser issues.

Thanks for the help,

Liz Godwin
