Thanks, Robert!  That helped a lot -- I was able to incorporate what you provided into my custom code.  Appreciate your time in responding. Joan ... View more

That worked great! I adjusted the values for top and right, and got it placed pretty well (see below).  Thanks so much -- css is not my strong point so I appreciate the help. ... View more

I am using version 3.9 of the API. My app is based on the one-pane Basic Viewer template which I downloaded 2 years ago (April 2013).  The template has an Editor tab that displays provided you have an editable feature service loaded.  So, the attributes aren't loaded into a Pop-up Window. I've done a good amount of customization, so swapping out to a newer template would be a lot of work. Below is what the Editor tab looks like in my app. The navigation buttons are baked in somewhere in the Basic Viewer template or AttributeInspector widget? Top half: Bottom half: ... View more

In the interest of time and ease of complexity, I instead added a message before the attribute list that reports the number of features selected. So I modified the editDiv line in function createEditor (line 31 above) to : dojo.byId('editDiv').innerHTML = "<p style='margin-left:5px;margin-top:0px;font-weight:bold;'><span id='editMessageSpan'>Click on Rezoning Case to Edit</span><span id='featureCountSpan'></span></p><div id='attributesDiv'></div>"; And added messages in function showAttributes seen below. //Added selectRezoning fn for Editor tab to select the features, 4/4/13 jms. function selectRezoning() {     console.log("-->inside selectRezoning function");         var selectQuery = new esri.tasks.Query();         dojo.connect(map, "onClick", function(evt) {       selectQuery.geometry = evt.mapPoint;       rezFeatLayer.selectFeatures(selectQuery, esri.layers.FeatureLayer.SELECTION_NEW, showAttributes);     });    } //Added showAttributes fn for Editor tab to show the selected the features, 4/4/13 jms. function showAttributes(features) {     console.log("-->inside showAttributes function");     console.log("features.length: " + features.length);     if (features.length > 0) {         //dojo.byId("attributesDiv").innerHTML = attInspector.domNode;         dojo.byId('editMessageSpan').innerHTML = "";         dojo.byId('featureCountSpan').innerHTML = "Rezoning Cases selected: " + features.length;         dojo.byId('attributesDiv').appendChild(attInspector.domNode);     } else {         dojo.byId('editMessageSpan').innerHTML = "Click on Rezoning Case to Edit";         dojo.byId('featureCountSpan').innerHTML = "";         dojo.byId('attributesDiv').innerHTML = "";     } } While I'd still like to put the default Attribute Inspector navigation up top, my main purpose is to alert the user that more than one feature got selected.  So, displaying the number of selected features will serve my needs -- perhaps it will help others also. ...

Thanks Melita.  I got similar information from ESRI tech support yesterday.  Here's the information they provided: “I would like to inform you that as this is a free basemap, it is meant for reference only, and therefore does not have a legend or key. With that being said, we know that if you are viewing the topographic map at 1:100,000 to 1:24,000 then you are actually viewing the National Geographic TOPO! maps which are seamless, scanned images of United States Geological Survey (USGS) paper topographic maps. I could only find the key to these maps from outside resources, and those were not authoritative resources such as National Geographic and USGS.” And here's a link to the same information you provided from USGS, but html format instead of pdf. Guide to USGS Topographic Map Symbols After looking at the satellite imagery for the specific area my user was asking about, it appears that "Wooded marsh or swamp" is the most likely description. Hope all this helps others. ... View more

Here's what I came up with to keep the visible display layers in sync with the popup layers. First define your layers (note the naming convention with the ids).         webmap.itemData = {          //IMPORTANT: Make sure the id of the popup and display layers are consistent!          //All popup layers need be named "pop" + {name of display layer}          //e.g. for Existing LU, the display layer id = "elu" and the corresponding popup layer id = "popelu"          //IMPORTANT: Make sure the popup and display layers are set to the same visibility (i.e., both 'true' or both 'false')           "operationalLayers": [            //Existing Land Use (popup)            { "url": "http://gis.tpcmaps.org/ArcGIS/rest/services/LandUse/Existing_Land_Use/MapServer/0",              "visibility": false,              "opacity": 0,              "mode": 2,  //Selection-only              "layerDefinition": {               "minScale": 100000,               "maxScale": 0,              },              "title": "popup Existing Land Use",              "id": "popelu",              "popupInfo": {           "title": "Existing Land Use",                   "fieldInfos": [             {'fieldName': "JURISDICTION","label": "Jurisdiction","visible": true,},             {"fieldName": "ELUSHADE","label": "Existing LU","visible": true,},                       {"fieldName": "ELU2_DESC","label": "Description","visible": true,}                     ],              "description": null              }            },            //Existing Land Use (display tiled service)            { "url": "http://gis.tpcmaps.org/ArcGIS/rest/services/LandUse/Existing_Land_Use/MapServer",              "visibility": false,              "opacity": 0.75,              "title": "Existing Land Use",              "id": "elu",              "description": null            }, Then in the addLayerList function, I added the indented code within the onChange function:         dojo.forEach(layerList, function (layer) {             menu.addChild(new dijit.CheckedMenuItem({                 label: layer.title,                 checked: layer.visible,                 onChange: function () {                     if (layer.layer.featureCollection) {                         //turn off all the layers in the feature collection even                         //though only the  main layer is listed in the layer list                         dojo.forEach(layer.layer.featureCollection.layers, function (layer) {                             layer.layerObject.setVisibility(!layer.layerObject.visible);                         });                     } else {                         layer.layer.setVisibility(!layer.layer.visible);  //this is where the layer's visibility is toggled on/off. [INDENT]                 //ADDITIONAL CODE    //Add the following to toggle the corresponding popup layer(s) in sync with the display layer. 11/20/13 jms                         //This way the popup box functionality will only return results from visible layers. (Too many layers in the list slows down the popup functionality otherwise...)                         //Important! Make sure in the create webmap that the popup and display layers are set to the same visibility (i.e., both 'true' or both 'false')                      console.log("layer: '" + layer.layer.id + "', visibility changed to '" + layer.layer.visible + "'");                  //console.log("popupid: " + map.getLayer("popelu").id);                  //var popupId = "popelu";                  var popupId = "pop" + layer.layer.id;                  var popupLayer = map.getLayer(popupId);                  popupLayer.setVisibility(!popupLayer.visible);                  console.log("popupLayer: '" + popupLayer.id + "', visibility changed to '" + popupLayer.visible + "'");[/INDENT]                    //END OF ADDITIONAL CODE                                                            }                 }             }));         }); Maybe not an elegant solution, but it seems to work.  Hope that might help someone else.

Steve, Thanks for testing.  Not sure why it wasn't working on the machine I was using.  I downloaded an IETester and then checked it on IE 8 and the app seems to work fine. Thanks for your help, Joan ... View more
