using alt tag to do mouse over

[Trimble, Beheen]

Hi All,

 

I want to use alt tag in my template to show an attribute of the active
layer. Below is the content of the html:

 

 

This is the image of the active layer:

 

<input type="image" name="img" src="[img]" width="[mapwidth]"
height="[mapheight]" border="0" alt="this is a map" > 

 

These are tow layers that user can select:



<b>Select Layers to Display: </b>

 <select multiple name="layer" size=3>

 <option value="lecsr_subareas" [lecsr_subareas_select]> Lecsr Subareas

 <option value="lecsr_budget" [lecsr_budget_select]> Lecsr Budget

 </select>

 

If user select lecsr_budget, when the mouse is over this image I want to
display the attribute site_name of this shape file.

Right now it displays 'this is a map'.  Something like 'alt=layer.value'
or 'alt=layer[site_name]' ??

 

I don't want to use java script if I can use mapserver functions through
the request string.

 

I have looked at the archives, they look too complicated for this? It
must be an easier way!

 

 

Thanks

Beheen
