msCross is a Javascript AJAX interface to the UMN Mapserver Webgis, developed during the Datacrossing DSS research project. msCross was developed to allow user dinamically display geographical information layers. It was developed to be cross-browser. The main objective is to permit users to simply create Google Maps-style applications, using only Free Software.
The purpose of the WMS Javascript Library wmsmap.js is to facilitate the creation of dynamics maps using freely available WMS servers. For example to create the dynamic equivalent of the image above, include the javascript files, define the Layer object, create a new map object, and associate it with an html DIV element.
