[mapguide-users] How to invoke URL?

[achectl]

Hi Andrew

Thanks for your information.
I tried to fix the invokeURL.java
(http://trac.osgeo.org/mapguide/ticket/832), but seems it doesn't work! :-((

I would like to confirm that "Key" should be the attribute of the feature
data? If the column attribute is called "Data", where I should to input?
Thanks :-)

Now it only show %24CurrentSelection for the value. 

Regards,
Achectl
