On my previous application the user was able to find a record in the shape
file and the map would zoom into that record and colour it red. I did this
by having a java script function -

function findBuilding(inBuilding){
  var aForm = document.forms[0]
  aForm.building.value  = inBuilding;

  aForm.mode.value = "itemquery";
  aForm.qlayer.value = "building_query";
  aForm.mapext.value = "shapes";
  aForm.buffer.value = "0.005";
  aForm.submit()
}

and in my map file -

LAYER   # this layer just displays one building when it has been queried
  NAME "building_query"
  DATA Build
  TYPE  POLYGON
  STATUS OFF
  FILTERITEM Bldg_name
  FILTER "%building%"
  CLASS
    TEMPLATE "demo.html"        # Use to display map
    #COLOR 255 0 0
    #OUTLINECOLOR 255 0 0
  END # CLASS
END # LAYER

And it works fine.
========================================
Now, I am working with the sample - DHTML rubber-band zoom sample from
http://maps.dnr.state.mn.us/mapserver_demos/workshop

An I am trying to achive the same functionality. Note: I cannot "fix" the
extents of the map area I want to zoom because the spatial coordinates of
the shape fuile records are constantly changing. Thanks

It's one of those things that just gets overlooked. Thanks for the reminder. 
We'll get 4.0 added to the "implements" list. Previously the decision was to not 
spend the time, etc. to prove conformance. We can revisit that again.
