landview mapserver application and treatment of layers

[J. Parapar]

Hi Dylan

In order to work, the Landview JavaScript needs that the HTML legend
fullfils some requirements. One is that the legend form must be called
layers. If you save the Landview page with Firefox you can see the
legend code and you can guess other requirements of the legend
template.

To mantain the layer status you can use the [if name=layer_status
value=...] tag. (Take a look at 
http://mapserver.gis.umn.edu/docs/howto/html_legend)

Best regards,
Jorge
