[mapguide-users] Andy - Question about your tooltips...

Ah....ya, that's it exactly. I'm using the DWF viewer for my project. 
It's just too slow with the AJAX viewer (though, you're right...the 
images work fine). Too bad about that. I guess that I'll have to have 
the image show up somewhere when selected. If I can ever figure out how 
to get my own ID number out of the MapServer ID, then I could use that 
same InvokeURL method we talked about the other day. I looked at that 
briefly this morning, but couldn't see which API to use, let alone where 
to call it from (was it an InvokeScript thing?)
