I may be mistaken, but the example looks a little old.  What version of
MapServer are you using?

<p>

This is just a simple dump of a few attributes for an individual
polygon
in the test suites counties layer:

<p>

<b>Name:</b> [Name]<br>
<b>ID Provincia:</b> [prov]<br>
<b>Comunidad Code:</b> [Comunidadc]<br>

<p>

and here's the map of the query results (you can zoom to a set of
results as
well):

<table cellpadding="5">
<tr>
<td><img border="2" src="[img]" height="300" width="300"></td>
<td><img border="2"
src="[mapserv]?map=[map]&name=[name_esc]&mode=itemquerymap&mapext=shapes&qla

</tr>
</table>
