MapServer WMS GetFeatureInfo (local MS4W layer)

 

Using an image WMS source with GetFeatureInfo requests

This example shows how to trigger WMS GetFeatureInfo requests on click for a MapServer WMS layer. The local mapfile used is /ms4w/apps/openlayers/examples/map/wms-server.map (data is in Spatialite format). Additionally map.forEachLayerAtPixel is used to change the mouse pointer when hovering a non-transparent pixel on the map.
