[OpenLayers-Users] Popup Attribute Display format

[Cress B.]

Hi Marc,

Thanks for your response.  Turns out the answer to my problem was pretty
simple.  I changed INFO/FORMAT to "text/html" in the getfeatureinfo
request in my script.  Also made the same change to my mapfile in the
Metadata sections for the WEB and LAYER sections.  Then figured out that
I needed to create a separate .html file that controls the format of my
popup display.  This html file is referenced in the mapfile as the
TEMPLATE parameter:
.
.
.
DATA         'HomeTaxlots2'
    STATUS       OFF
    TYPE         POLYGON
    STATUS       ON
 DUMP         TRUE
 LABELITEM    "TAXLOT"
 TEMPLATE     /ms4w/apache/htdocs/taxlot_poly_attr3.html
.
.
.
and here's my "taxlot_poly_attr3.html" that formats the popup fields:
 
<table style='font-size:.8em'>
<tr><td width="12">Map:</td><td width="100">[MAPNUMBER]</td></tr>
           <tr><td>Lot:</td><td>[TAXLOT]</td></tr>
           <tr><td>Owner:</td><td>[OWNNAME]</td></tr>
 
</table>

Hi Cress, 

Play around with the INFO_FORMAT-parameter of the 
getFeatureInfo-Request. E.g. "application/vnd.ogc.gml" would perhaps be 
better suited. 

INFO_FORMAT: 'application/vnd.ogc.gml', 

Afterwards look at the response and try to parse/read the servers' 
answer using a proper OpenLayers.Format. With the parsed info you can 
build any HTML you want and insert it into the popup. 

Regards, 
Marc
