FAQ: How Are Hyperlinks for an ArcMap Image Service Defined Differently than Those for an

Answer

The layers in a map configuration file created with ArcMap (.MXD) are numbered in reverse of those in a map configuration file created with ArcIMS Author (.AXL). In ArcIMS Author the layers are counted from top to bottom; in ArcMap they are counted from bottom to top.

Example:
The .AXL and the .MXD file both include the two layers in this order (this equals the order the layers are listed in the Table of Contents):
Parcels
Roads

When setting up hyperlinks for the image service associated with the .AXL file, update the corresponding ArcIMSparams.js for your HTML Viewer file like this:

hyperlinkLayers[0] = "Parcels";
hyperlinkFields[0] = "";
hyperlinkPrefix[0] = "";
hyperlinkSuffix[0] = "";

hyperlinkLayers[1] = "Roads";
hyperlinkFields[1] = "";
hyperlinkPrefix[1] = "";
hyperlinkSuffix[1] = "";
