[mapguide-users] How to invoke URL?

[Andrew DeMerchant]

I think that you're all misunderstanding his question - he's asking 
about InvokeURL, which works fine in Fusion....unless it's been broken 
with the release of the last version. I've used InvokeURL quite a lot, 
myself...Now, as for how to use it; Value should be $CurrentSelection, 
yes. If you need to actually pull out data from a table and pass that to 
a web page, that's a bit more involved, but not bad. Check Nabble for 
info - look for PassData.php or posts by me.
