in the form


Hello,

Thanks to all my first maps are very successful for my purposes.  I now
continue on to make them better.

When I do not give an action in my html that produces the map and I
click on a polygon - naturally get an error but I also get the following
query
strings:

img.x=291&img.y=274

My question is given that these are the x/y coordinates of the polygon
that has been clicked on - how do I relate these back to the data that
belongs to this polygon - in this case the zip 96504 so that I can do a
lookup on my db to give the user information about this zip?

Thanks
