Hi Gang, You need to include this variable: hgS_doLoadUrl
Also, you should use the position variable (with 1-based start coord) instead of chrom, start and end. This should work: http://myownserver/cgi-bin/hgTracks?hgS_doLoadUrl=submit&hgS_loadUrlName=http://myownserver/customTracks/mystored.session&position=chr1:50001-50500 <http://myownserver/cgi-bin/hgTracks?hgS_doLoadUrl=submit&hgS_loadUrlName=http://myownserver/customTracks/mystored.session&position=chr1:50001-50500> Note that if this link is to be shared by multiple users, it should not include hgsid (the user session id). Hopefully this information was helpful and answers your question. If you have further questions or require clarification feel free to contact the mailing list at [email protected].
