[mapguide-users] Session Map and Settings Serverside

[Rock Beans]

Thanks I got the layer control figured out now. I wish you could set
the map.viewscale= is the only thing. I would still have to do a
Javascript refresh. So this ZoomToView(x, y, scale, refresh) might be
just as good either way. Is there a way to set the scale serverside
using the map object?

Thanks!
