- SOLUTION (sort of) Am I correct in assuming this won't work? (map_web_template=select_html)

[Steve Lime]

Bob: The web template has a security hobble to limit changing the
template unless you explicitly allow it. It was added a while ago for
cases when many companies were hosted on one machine and folks didn't
want any sharing.

Anyway, there is a parameter called TEMPLATEPATTERN that takes a regex
as a value that allows you to filter the values set using
map_web_template. Perhaps it should be applied against legend templates
but that's not the case now (there's not much if any risk/reward with
legend templates). So you might set something like:

TEMPLATEPATTERN '1|2|3'

So setting map_web_template=template1 would be allowed but
map_web_template=template4 would not.

Clear as mud?

All,

Hmmm, after some experimentation, this does work:

map_legend_template=select_leg.html

Not exactly what I need, but I think it will work OK for me now, I just 
need to copy a few things in the BROWSE html template this way.

Funny though that the LEGEND works, but the WEB object doesn't.

Hmmmm.
