You shouldn't have a problem. The HREF is not processed until the user clicks on the image it surrounds - it's not processed when the document containing the HREF is served (through webcatalog or whatever). I haven't tried this, but I'm pretty sure. After all, you can load up pages all day that have image maps on 'em, but MapServe won't even launch until you click on one. -CC-+-------------------------------+--------------------------------------+ | ^^ Two guys walk into | CC Chamberlin, Multimedia Specialist | | ___OO_ / a bar, which is real| Agricultural Communications, NMSU | |- \ funny 'cause if one +--------------------------------------+ | `-v-v-v guy walks into it |There are things which seem like | | | you'd think the | miracles to men who have not studied | | `^-^-^-^\ other guy'd see it.| Mathematics. -Archimedes- | +-------------------------------+--------------------------------------+ | Hey, my opinions are my own, not those of my employers, ok?
