Ethan,

Forgive my complete newbie approach to this situation and thank you for your
help.  I did begin to use the perl mapscript interface without creating
mapfiles on-the-fly but there were certain calls that died because of not
finding certain perl dependencies ( something that ended in .al of all
things ). I need this stuff to work on as vanilla a server as possible so I
went this route.

I put into application your suggestion but now I am getting a return of:

msCalculateScale(): General error message. Invalid image extent,
minx=-1.000000, miny=-1.000000, maxx=-1.000000, maxy=-1.000000.
msCalculateScale(): General error message. Invalid image extent,
minx=-1.000000, miny=-1.000000, maxx=-1.000000, maxy=-1.000000.

So I need to capture the extents from the original mapfile and pass them
through to the template? Or at this point am I using the template at all?

Ah! Found it!  I need to pass imgext - but when I do this I get a zoom of
the map but with out my html formatting.  Very confusing.

So my understand from the your many threads this week you are using
mapscript to generate mapfiles. This is cofirmed by the clearly temporary
name you've given the map file when I visited your link below:
/tmp/file6XWjI2.map.

So why are you using mode=browse? mode=map is what you need. The output of
your cgi has the following line:

<input type="hidden" name="mode" value="browse">

I entered the following in my browser:

http://mco.communityservers.com/cgi-bin/mapserv?map=/usr/local/apache/htdocs
/mco.communityservers.com/htdocs/tmp/file6XWjI2.map&mode=map
<http://mco.communityservers.com/cgi-bin/mapserv?map=/usr/local/apache/htdoc
s/mco.communityservers.com/htdocs/tmp/file6XWjI2.map&mode=map>

and it worked.


The other thing which took me a while to realize is if you're using
mapscript, you should consider the mapfile input instead of output. Once you
make this connection you won't ever use calls directly to the mapserv
executable.

Everybody,

http://mco.communityservers.com/cgi-bin/teacher/makmap.cgi

I still can not figure out why when I click on a polygon I get the error
message.  The map_web_template is there - everything that I have read about
to do this is there. All I want it to do is to be able to zoom in to a
polygon when someone clicks on it.  What am I doing wrong?

Thanks.
