[Gmod-help] Gbrowse and clickable maps

[Scott Cain]

Hi Victor,

This question would be best asked on the GBrowse mailing list, in  
fact, it might have alerted the WormBase folks that their GBrowse  
instance is broken (\scott takes a moment to email the WormBase people).

The message you get from that WormBase link is the same one that you  
get when you call gbrowse_img with no paramters:

   http://localhost/cgi-bin/gbrowse_img

(although the images on that page are broken, since WormBase's GBrowse  
is broken :-/

Anyway, the parameter you are looking for is embed=1, which generates  
a full html page with image and imagemap that can be included in an  
iframe in another page.

Scott
