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

[Andrew DeMerchant]

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?)
