[mapserver-users] Re: Print template and WMS

[Steve Lime]

The layers tag takes space separated layer names but since you have a space in your
WMS layer name (BLM Claim Names) it's not getting turned on. I don't recommend using
spaces or special characters in layer names for just this reason. If you change the
name to something like BLM_Claim_Names everywhere then I bet things start working...
