ok - got zoom to work - another question

[Stephen Woodbridge]

Joseph,

This will be problematic if you are placing the ellipse at the zipcode
centroid because all the ellipses will be located at the same location
and you will only see the last one that is drawn.

What you might want to do is make the ellipse a hot spot and do some
javascript onRollover to pop up a box with the names in it. Or to place
the number of teachers on a single ellipse, or to list all the teacher
names in a single ellipse.

These would need to be done in mapscript some way. but I don't think you
will be able to get mapserver to do it automatically for you.
