CGI Post Query Results in Separate Window

That's kinda more of a HTML question than a Mapserver question, if I
understand it. Or maybe it's that my answer is more of a HTML answer than
a Mapserver answer... :)

On the purely Mapserver server end, it's not the server's job to know what
you're doing with the info, e.g. frames and all. So you hafta do it on the
HTML side.

The way we handle it is with frames or iframes. We have a frame for
showing query results, and some JavaScript that says "on mouse click,
figure up the query URL and open that URL in this other frame" If you
already have click-queries working, you may get by with just adding a
"target=" attribute to the link.
