Implementing combo boxes {Scanned}

[Siki Zoltan]

Hi Willem,

You can use the select item in a html form. You will get the selected 
value in the query string like 
controlname=value

If you would like to serve few number of shape files, then you can create 
a map file all layers involved and turn on/off layers through the query 
string.
I usually do it using checkboxes or multiselect lisboxes.
If you would get more freedom you should use mapscript.
