Acibi,

This is probably more apropriate to the mapserver-users list than the 
dev list, so I am moving it there.

Your question really does not have anything to do with mapserver , but 
has more to do with you client application. Your client application 
interfaces with the user and then makes a request to mapserver for a map 
image.

So you will have to tell us more about your client application. If you 
have not picked one yet, I would recommend OpenLayers which is a very 
nice web 2.0 javascript library that does all the map management for 
you. But you might be doing something with php, or who knows what, so 
more info is needed.

Thanks,
