Ferencik -

You didn't follow the instructions I gave you the first time you asked.
You changed your IMAGEURL from a URL to a file path, and that's why you
see the path to the PNG file.  Your IMAGEURL should not have been
changed from the original value you were using when you first asked the
question - it should be just "tmp".

The URL for a MapServer image in browse mode is created by adding the
filename of the generated file to the string in the IMAGEURL statement.
If you modify the IMAGEURL, you'll see that the URL to the PNG file in
the generated HTML output changes.  Just chang the IMAGEURL until the
generated URL is correct and pointing to the images.

You are getting an "error message" - the broken link icon is telling you
that the file can't be found!

Hi list,

i still have some problems with mapserver. I created a mapfile wich I
can in map mode with IE6 or Firefox. Though, in browse mode i see only
a blank picture, instead of PNG file itself I see a path to that PNG
file. When I click on map it doesn't give me any error it seems taht the
aplication is capable of panning. I do not understand what is happenning
because I don't receive any error message.

I use folowing map file:

MAP
  IMAGETYPE PNG24
  #EXTENT 349932 529491 358227 537108 # extent alba
  EXTENT 388605 583929 398798 590500
  FONTSET "fonts/fonts.list"
  SIZE 1000 1000
  SHAPEPATH "date"

   "init=epsg:31700"
  END

        TYPE RASTER
        PROJECTION

         END
         STATUS default
         PROCESSING "BANDS=1,2,3"
   END #--sfarsit layer de tip raster

    END

        POSITION LL
        PARTIALS true
        MINDISTANCE 300
        #BUFFER 4
      END
    END
  END

  # End of LAYER DEFINITIONS -------------------------------
        WEB
                IMAGEPATH "c:\ms4w\rosia\tmp\"
                IMAGEURL "c:\ms4w\rosia\tmp\"
                TEMPLATE 'index.html'
                LOG mslog.txt

        END

END # end of map file/object

and this is my template file:
