BASIC ARCXML OVERLAY EXAMPLE
Overview    Code_notes    Page code
This tutorial demonstrates how to overlay an image generated from an ESRI ArcIMS® web map server. Individual layers can be called from the map server by modifying the ArcXML® request sent to the ArcIMS® server. The sample data is from the U.S. Geological Survey and is hosted by the Geography Network. You must be connected to the internet for this sample to work. Usage instructions
