DHTML rubber-band box

Check your webserver logs and look at the URL it's submitting...Copy
that and in a browse use it changing mode=browse to mode=map...If
nothing displays then you most likely have your projection or extents
wrong. This is how I initially figured out how to debug what was going
on in the dhtml example.

	Subject: [UMN_MAPSERVER-USERS] DHTML rubber-band box
	
	

	I am trying to copy the code for the DHTML rubber-band box from
the Itasca Demo and cannot get it to show my map. 
	I am wondering what other code I must copy or change to make
this work? 
	I am able to get the gist of the Javascript code, but I am not
familiar enough to write new code. 
	
	So far I have copied the Javascript folder and most of the
graphics from the Graphics folder into my drive. 
	I have copied and inserted the portion of code below from the
(Itasca) index.html into my index.html file. 
	
	<!-- EDIT THE FORM ACTION --> 
	    <form name="watershed_main" method="GET"
action="/cgi-bin/mapserv.exe"> 
	
	      <input type="hidden" name="layer" value="major_basins"> 
	      <input type="hidden" name="layer" value="county"> 
	      <input type="hidden" name="layer" value="MajRds"> 
	      <input type="hidden" name="zoomsize" value=2> 
	
	      <!-- EDIT THESE HIDDEN VARIABLES --> 
	      <input type="hidden" name="map"
value="d:/webData/watershed/major_basins.map"> 
	      <input type="hidden" name="program"
value="/cgi-bin/mapserv.exe"> 
	      <input type="hidden" name="root"
value="http://sr08dmnspl/watershed"> 
	      <input type="hidden" name="map_web_imagepath"
value="./tmp/"> 
	      <input type="hidden" name="map_web_imageurl"
value="http://sr08dmnspl/watershed/tmp/"> 
	      <input type="submit" value="Start Application"></center> 
	
	
	I have also copied the code below from the
itasca_adds_dhtml.html file and placed it into my file called
watershed_main.html 
	
	Here is my watershed_main.html code 
	
	<!-- watershed_main.html 
	   This is the start of the interactive major watershed map. -->
