TEMPLATE in map file doesn't run, why?

[Jacob Delfos]

What form input elements do you have in your template? When you say "any clicking zone appears", does that mean when you click, the map disappears? 
Normally when you click, the page submits. If your input elements in your template are not correct, or missing, it may submit to an incorrect link, or with incorrect parameters. Maybe you can post the relevant bits of your template.

regards,

Jacob

Hi Daniele,

I understand what you are telling me but the problem is that although I had 
an .html page when I execute mapserver, I can't click anywhere in the map, 
any clicking zone appears.

I tried using TEMPLATE in LAYER section, in WEB section and in CLASS section 
but nothing occurs.
