Newbie need help- please!

Question

I have two of the samples working great! One that customizes the popup and the other that has a nice layout with legend. I can't for the life of me seem to combine them to make one great website. I think the problem has to do with the first one uses a feature map service and the second a dynamic map service? When I combine the code I get no map. Any help would be greatly appreciated! The are both from ESRI samples http://help.arcgis.com/en/webapi/javascript/arcgis/help/jssamples_start.htm#jssamples/layout_MapContainerSplitLeft.html and http://help.arcgis.com/en/webapi/javascript/arcgis/help/jssamples_start.htm Below is the code I'm using. I get no map, no legend and no pop-up.

Thank you both so much for your suggestions.

Derek-  I took the code out as suggested. map = new esri.Map("map", {
extent: initExtent,
infoWindow: popup
});

The map and legend are now showing up!!!  We are moving in the right direction!

However the pop-ups are not working. Any ideas?

Jay-
My service is not yet public, it's on a development server but I'll move it when I have everything working.  Thanks for the tip about wrapping code!  Sorry about the link, it's just the popup up example in the widgets area on the JavaScript samples area.

I have also tried another approach, which I'll post in separately.  I can get the legend to work or the pop-up but not both 😞

5. in the line of code  map.addLayers([dynamicLayer]); - I would try to drop the []
Jay

The brackets are necessary�?? addLayers takes an array of layers as the argument.

The first thing to do is only create your map once. In other words, take out this code:
map = new esri.Map("map", {
extent: initExtent,
infoWindow: popup
});

Also, which layers do you want to show up in your legend? Please be specific.
