Preventing browser refresh using Mapserver

[Steve Lime]

You can also do something like is done on this site:

  http://www.dnr.state.mn.us/maps/landview.html 

The coordinates are managed entirely on the client using javascript. Only the 
images are ever swapped. In this example the legend is swapped using AJAX
each time the map changes (to deal with layers/scaling). We're getting away
from that though using XML extracted via a mapfile and hooking that together
with the Yahoo developer tools (tree/task/folder view). I hope to have a
something that sits atop the Yahoo libs along with a bit of custom stuff 
very soon (call it dBox2)...

Combine this or something like ka-map with a bit of AJAX and you can do a
lot without ever refreshing the page.

Hi all,

In Mapserver applications, is there anyway of stopped
the page being refreshed every time a request is made
to the server? I have heard of using XML HTTP Request
Object?

Ben
