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

[Steve Lime]

The AJAX method will work nicely. This site does just that:

  http://www.dnr.state.mn.us/waters/csg/index.html 

If you use the identify tool to click on a point the query output is
placed in an Ext window. If
you hover over a point very simple query output is stuffed in a div.
