[mapguide-users] Hyperlink in Selection panel

[Martin Morrison]

This is incorrect.  

It works, we use it.  Keep in mind that valid HTML has anchor tags, you need to include those also.  E.g. <A HREF=http://myserver.com/whatever.pdf>Click ME!</A>  This of course will give you the words "Click Me!" as a clickable hyperlink.

If you populate the data as a link the properties panel won't render the data as a hyperlink. Just text. 

The recommendation to modify the template files and code behind JavaScript is the best option. Just make sure to create backups of any files you change!
