[mapserver-users] Shapefile, itemnquery and HTML image map generation problem

[W.John Guineau]

I'm new to mapserver, how do I quickly generate a querymap?

I'm using mapserver 5.4.2 from the latest MS4W on Windows 7 x64. I've also
tried 5.2.1 that I compiled myself.

GDAL's not in play here at all. If you generate a query map instead of an
html image map does
the output map look ok? What version are you using?
