[mapserver-users] Conditions in Query Templates

[Steve Lime]

You've got a couple of options:

  1) use javascript, that is, assign the value for installer to a variable and then do a conditional display, e.g.

<script ..>
  var installer = '[installer]';
  if(installer) document.write(...);
</script>

  2) use an [item ...] tag

[item name="installer" pattern="." format="<table><tr><td>Installer:</td><td>$value</td></tr></table>"]

This should output the table if the installer column has data in it.
