-the TEMPLATE "countytemplate.html" contains: =20
<area shape=3D"polygon" coords=3D"[shpxy precision=3D0 proj=3Dimage]"
title=3D"[NAME]" href=3D"testpage.cfm?counID=3D[COUNTY_FIP]" =
alt=3D"[NAME]">

-the HEADER "countyimagemapheader.html" contains:
  <!-- the image map -->
  <map id=3D"mymap" name=3D"mymap">

-the FOOTER "countyimagemapfooter.html" contains:
 </map>

I call the imagemap with the URL:
http://myurl/cgi-bin/mapserv.exe?map=3Dc:/mypath/maps/testmap/newimagemap=
t
est.map&qlayer=3Dcounty&mode=3Dnquery&searchmap=3Dtrue

Here is the resulting imagemap with all but two of the polygon elements
snipped out for brevity:

<map id=3D"mymap" name=3D"mymap">

</map>

Essentially, I am just doing a query (nquery), using the query templates
(header, template, footer) to build an imagemap instead of a html table.


You can see in the TEMPLATE, that I am using [NAME] and [COUNTY_FIP],
which are field names in my shapefile dbf to put the values in to the
imagemap elements. =20

In addition to the imagemap that is generated, you will want to hit
mapserver to generate the map image associated with your imagemap. =20

I plan to write this up as a HowTo or FAQ as soon as I get a little
time. =20

I should have probably added that I used the CGI version of MapServer=20
since I was most comfortable with that approach.
