For what it's worth, I'm having the same problem.  I just created a model including a dissolve (10.1) based on a numeric field.  It's runs fine without error, but the resulting data isn't dissolved into multipart shapes even though that option is checked.  I can run the dissolve outside of the model successfully, but this kind of makes my model useless.  Has anyone found the cause of this...or is it maybe a bug? ...

You do not need the TOC to tell you which layer is visible. For service level layer, you should be using Layer.visible. For layers underneath a dynamic map service, use ArcGISDynamicMapServiceLayer.visibleLayers. My web map includes one dymanamic mapservice with 13 layers, all listed in the TOC and most used in the identify.  I want to do the same thing...only identify on layers that are visible, or checked in the TOC.  I think this reply would work for me, but I don't quite follow it (still learning).  If someone could explain a little more I think I can get there.  I don't understand what nliu meant with "using layer.visible" or "using ArcGISDynamicMapServiceLayer.visibleLayers".  Would this be a parameter with the identify function?  Any clarification would be greatly appreciated!  Thanks. ...

So, I'm still trying to follow Diane's example and struggling with it.  I'm still very much a beginner and trying to understand how all of the functions interact, how to call variables, and general javascript stuff.  I added the following line to my code to remove the child tab (landsTab) from the main tab container (tc) if the results were blank: dijit.byId("tc").removeChild(dijit.byId('landsTab')); Obviously I'm not doing something correctly, and the problem may be elsewhere in the code.  When I click on the map where "lands" are present, the identify works properly.  If no lands are present the whole tab container just doesn't come up at all.  Instead I'm trying to get it to just remove the childTab named "landsTab" if no lands are present. Diane mentioned removing all childtabs before all of this...would that be within the function addToMap(idResults, evt)? One of these days I might get it!  Any more pointers you can provide are appreciated.  Sorry to be such a slow learner. ... View more

Yeah, my code follows the example pretty closely, with a few differences.  I tried adding the removeChild at the if/else part of the script where the tab contents are set up.  I'm not sure if this is the right place to do it and I doubt I did it correctly.  Right now if an identify doesn't intersect any features, it just doesn't display the whole tabcontainer.  I just want to exclude the landsTab.  "tc" is the variable name for the tabcontainer in the previous function...not sure I used that correctly.  Here's the section I edited:    if(layerName === "landsResults"){       if(layerResults.features.length > 0){         content = "<i>Conservation Lands returned: " + layerResults.features.length +         "</i>";         content += "<table border='1'><tr><th>Label</th><th>Land Type</th><th>Manager</th><th>Weblink</th></tr>";         for (var i=0, il=layerResults.features.length; i<il; i++) {           content+="<tr><td>"+layerResults.features.attributes['LABEL']+" <a href='#' onclick='showFeature(" + layerName + ".features[" + i + "]); return false;'>(show)</a></td>";           content+="<td>"+layerResults.features.attributes['MATYPE']+"</td>";           content+="<td>"+layerResults.features.attributes['MAAGENCY']+"</td>";           content+="<td>"+" <a href=" + layerResults.features.attributes['LANDLINK'] + " target=_blank ;'>More Info</a></td>";         }         content+="</tr></table>";     }else{       dijit.byId("tc").removeChild(landsTab);     }   } ...

Thanks Diana!  I'll try this approach and code you posted.  I looked into hiding the child tab container and couldn't get it to work.  I'm still new to javascript so I'm not surprised it didn't work.  I appreciate your reply! ... View more

Craig - I'm having the exact same problem with layers displaying identify results when turned off in the TOC (using the TOc widget).  Other posts suggesting adding "identifyParams.layerIds = visible" to the initfunctionality parameters, but this doesn't work and seems to disable the identify function all together.  If you figured this out or found a work around I'd love to hear about it. I'm also trying to exclude the contentpanes from the tabcontainer when identify results are null.  This is probably a separate issue with a possible separate fix. Thanks, Dave ... View more

Problem solved, and I learned something too.  Thanks to both of you!!!! ... View more

I'm looking at it in Firebug right now.  I do need to get more familiar with it and now seems like a good time.  Thanks! ... View more

Kelly, Thanks so much for editing my code and doing some clean up!  Unfortunately I am having trouble getting the the basemap and other layers to load.  I corrected a typo in the one of the variables (var riversResutls) and I'm looking for possible other issues.  If you have any ideas let me know...otherwise I'll keep looking until I figure it out. Thanks again!  David ... View more

Thanks Brett, I used this and it worked really well!!! ... View more
