scrolling over a point to view attributes

[Steve Lime]

Here's an example:

  http://maps.dnr.state.mn.us/eco/rsg/search/templates/

We built a little county selection tool using an image map. This uses shpxy and repeated calls to
MapServer to give the effect of selecting counties.

Jennifer,

I originally put together our first version of this capability for our
internal developers here at the City.

This is how I got started, it's not the only way:

Once you have a Webpage working with aboveLIB, then the next step is to
make a TEMPLATE that MapServer can use for Attribute Output from the SHP
files. to generate Imagemap
Just read up on:
http://mapserver.gis.umn.edu/docs/reference/templatereference 

I can't seem to find too much on the Mapserver pages about ImageMap
generation, (is there something obvious some place that I'm missing?).
I'm try to find an example of a IMAGEMAP from MapServer Template, but
not find anything specfically like this.

Anyone else know of an example that generate straight from the MapServer
Template (Using SHPXY?)
