[mapserver-users] javscript controls for Zoom and Pan

[Lime, Steve D (DNR)]

I guess you'd need to be specific on what you mean by "javascript control for this". Typically this means moving from a form-based interface where the whole page refreshes to one where most of the work happens on the client and MapServer is just used to respond to image or query requests. While you *could* write your own I think it's much more productive to look at one of the frameworks out there, of which a couple have already been mentioned. Personally, I'm a big OpenLayers fan with an OL client fronting MapServer-based services.  Also, as a php user p.mapper (http://www.pmapper.net/) may be off interest and there are others. -Steve

Hi Matias,

I will take the occasion to suggest that you also take a look at
Dracones, a new framework I recently released for MapServer, which
provides easy handling of basic mapping services like pan and zoom,
among other things:

Thanks for both answers. But I was looking for something simple. Just a piece of code to replace de "old-fashioned" zoom and pan form controls.
Do something simple exist or I have to start thinking in moving to a mapserver framework?

Thx!
