Popup content

Question

Hey, I was browsing forum & api without any result to my query, I'd like to get the data from my popup in order to re-use it with an AJAX function. cannot find a way to do it. I'm already moving my popup next to the map so I though it would be easy to get one of the field. I got this part of code from an arcgis tuto var content =feature.getContent(); registry.byId("leftPane").set("content", content); [HTML]

[/HTML] The content properly get into the leftPane DIV but whenever I try to use it another way than this one I got a 'object HTMLDivElement' as result. thanks

Hi, I have the same problem as described belowHey, I was browsing forum & api without any result to my query, I'd like to get the data from my popup in order to re-use it with an AJAX function. cannot find a way to do it. I'm already moving my popup next to the map so I though it would be easy to get one of the field.

[/HTML] The content properly get into the leftPane DIV but whenever I try to use it another way than this one I got a 'object HTMLDivElement' as result. thanks feature is obtained popup.getSelectedFeature() - accordingly to the JS ArcGIS API reference https://developers.arcgis.com/en/javascript/jsapi/popup.html it should return a Graphic object. then when trying to use feature.getContent() on the documentation https://developers.arcgis.com/en/javascript/jsapi/graphic-amd.html says we should get a String but actually seems an Object is returned and not a String. Seems there is a problem somewhere.

Hey if you display the Popup with features try popup.getSelectedFeature()

. You'll get a feature object back. If you want all features wich are set to the popup look at the dom ;) .... in my case popup.features

(is an array)

if you use a template u can use:var template = new esri.InfoTemplate("","${Status:compare}");

in this case Status is a returned var and compare is the function.
function compare(value, key, data) 
{
var content = "The Status of XYZ is" + data.Status;
registry.byId("leftPane").set("content", content); //show in left Pane
return content; //show in Popup 
}

btw:
i createt a simple popup with
popup = new esri.dijit.Popup({
   markerSymbol:popupmarker,    
   fillSymbol: new esri.symbol.SimpleFillSymbol(esri.symbol.SimpleFillSymbol.STYLE_SOLID, new esri.symbol.SimpleLineSymbol(esri.symbol.SimpleLineSymbol.STYLE_SOLID, new dojo.Color([255,0,0]), 2), new dojo.Color([255,255,0,0.25]))
}, dojo.create("div"));

Hope it helps 😉
