[Mapserver-users] Hyperlinks from map layers

Mon May 17 03:10:30 PDT 2004

Hi Kenneth,

an easy way to do this, is to open a new browser window and then define 
the location of the new window with javascript:

Therefore you need a JS function in your query template that assigns the 
new href location:

function openLink() {
   detail = window.open("","Detail","toolbar=no");
   detail.location.href = "http://www.yourserver.dk/pdf_dir/[DBF_PDF_LINK]";
}

Call this function from <BODY onload="openLink();">.

HTH, Michael
