using alt tag to do mouse over

[Fawcett, David]

Beheen, 

Take a look at the ImageMap HowTo:
http://mapserver.gis.umn.edu/docs/howto/imagemaps  

In section 3.1, it shows how to substitute the value from the shapefile
field 'NAME' into each imagemap element.  

David.

Hi Kristian,

Alt or Title, still I need it to be a mapserver/cgi variable that when I
submit the request, extracts the site_name from the shapefile. I don't
know the site_name before hand. I can not hard code the value.

Thanks
Beheen

As an aside, the alt text doesn't show as a tooltip in Firefox, because
that's not what the 'alt' attribute is for. Use the attribute 'title'
for that, if you care about web standards.

regards,
Kristian
