AW: [mapserver-users] How do I Control QUERY Output?

[Arnd Wippermann]

Hi,

You cann't insert html to a html document by using a url. There is nothing
like the img tag for pictures.
You have to use ajax to request your query. Then you can put the result with
innerHTML to your element.

Betreff: [mapserver-users] How do I Control QUERY Output?

 From a simple MapServer HTML interface I switch to Query mode and click on
a map feature, and templates I've assigned to the layer fill with data ...
and display in a new page. What I'd like is for the info to display in a
floating div and not disrupt the view by clearing the map just to display a
small window of data. I'd also prefer to not use frames as well.

With JavaScript I can make a floating drag-able div box, but I can't figure
out how to get the template to send its table of data to the div. 
I've tried removing the HTML header and just appending the table to the div
using innerHTML, but I keep getting null elements or other errors. 
Is this approach right and I'm just missing something, or is this done
another way? I spent the better part of an hour today searching for docs
and/or examples, but either it wasn't to be found or my google-fu was
inferior today. Can someone point me to an example or explain how you can
put query output anywhere on the map page?
