[Mapserver-users] Itasca Demo DHTML Help?

[Inge Keckeisen]

Hi Jerod,

I did the dhtml demo without frames in replacing the frames.html with a 
  html file without frameset but a normal body. In this new file the 
javascript function "load_map()" is modified:

function load_map() {
         var template;
         var query = location.search.substring(1);
         var pairs = query.split("&");
         for(var i = 0; i < pairs.length; i++) {
           var pos = pairs[i].indexOf('=');
           if (pos == -1) continue;
           var name = pairs[i].substring(0,pos);
           if(name == 'map_web_template') {
             template = pairs[i].substring(pos+1);
	    template = unescape(template.replace(/\+/g, " "));
             break;
           }
         }
         window.location.href = template + "?" + query;
       }

You can call this function in the body tag of the new file --> 
onLoad="load_map()".
Of course you have to modify the function "submit_form()" in the 
index.html, so the new html file will be called instead of the frames.html:

function submit_form() {
          var template = 
document.demo.map_web_template.options[document.demo.map_web_template.selectedIndex].value;
         if(template.indexOf("PART OF YOUR TEMPLATE NAME") != -1) 
document.demo.action = "NEW.html";

Hope this was understandable, if not, send me a note and I send you my 
modified files.

Regards,
Inge
