ERROR

The layer does not have any Hyperlinks

Last Published: April 25, 2020

Error Message

The Web site's Hyperlink tool does not function when a feature is clicked. The following alert message appears:

"The layer does not have any Hyperlinks".

Note:
Verify that the instructions in the PDF document titled "Customizing ArcIMS - HTML Viewer" have been completed.

Cause

The hyperlink arrays in the viewer's ArcIMSparam.js file have likely been edited incorrectly.

Here is the sample provided in the default HTML Viewer:

Code:
/*
hyperLinkLayers[0] = "Museums";
hyperLinkFields[0] = "WEBSITE";
hyperLinkLayers[1] = "Art Galleries";
hyperLinkFields[1] = "WEBSITE";
*/

Most commonly, the error is related to the presence of comment characters (/* and */) preceding and ending the sample code. The characters must be removed.

Solution or Workaround

Un-comment the sample arrays.

If this fails to solve the problem, then verify that the values of the array members are valid.

Note:
It is not required to restart the ArcIMS services or daemons after making the above changes.
