Hi all,

Charlton, did you install the latest 'nighly built? It (almost) worked 
for me with that version...

I came up with this result:

http://map.gis.univie.ac.at/ms_test/imagemap.php

It seems to work at the first sight, but when you click on one of the 
polygons, no windows appears. If you look at the source code of the 
page, you will see that no argument 'p' is handed over to the javascript 
function.

Regarding my poor C/C++ knowledge, I had a look at the mapimagmap.c file 
in the mapserver source code and figured out, that 'p' refers to the 
shpObj.

Can anyone see what the problem is with my demo? I followed the exact 
instructions from your wiki section.
Does your solution only work with shapefiles as a basis? Or do I need my 
data in PostGIS?

Thanks for any input,
alex.

Hi all, 
 
Charlton, did you install the latest 'nighly built? It (almost) worked
for me with that version... 
 
I came up with this result:
 
 
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext"
 href="http://map.gis.univie.ac.at/ms_test/imagemap.php">http://map.gis.univie.ac.at/ms_test/imagemap.php</a>
 
 
It seems to work at the first sight, but when you click on one of the
polygons, no windows appears. If you look at the source code of the
page, you will see that no argument 'p' is handed over to the
javascript function.
 
 
Regarding my poor C/C++ knowledge, I had a look at the mapimagmap.c
file in the mapserver source code and figured out, that 'p' refers to
the shpObj.

 <pre wrap="">Hi, Steve:

Checked out the overlib URL you sent below, and I must admit it's slick.

I'm a little lost, though, what library do I need to make sure I have
installed and part of my ./configure?

I'm trying to monkey around w/ imagemap, a la the Wiki post:
  OUTPUTFORMAT
    NAME imagemap
    MIMETYPE "text/html"
    DRIVER imagemap
  END

But a shp2img gives me a:
msDrawMap(): GD library error. Unable to initialize image.

Running 4.0.1 and gd-2.0.15.

My MS build looks like it put mapimagemap.c into my libmap.a.  Any
hints?

Thanks,

Charlton
