Show coordinates in basic viewer template

Question

Hi, I just started using this api and I like basic viewer template but I can't find a way to show the coordinates in map. I found some examples where it is shown in footer or in a map when you drag your mouse cursor to some place by using onLoad function and that is what I want 🙂
Could anyone please write if there is an option to show it or how to save these xy coordinates to variables?
Thanks for response.

I 1) created a new showCoordinates() function in layout.js 2) add the 2 listeners to the "if (map.loaded)" section of the CreateMap() function and added the div to the bottom pane in the index.html.

Hey Kelly,

I also want to add this. I have the code in layout.js.  Am curious where to add

dojo.connect(map, "onMouseMove", showCoordinates);
dojo.connect(map, "onMouseDrag", showCoordinates);

in layout.js.  I have tried a handful of places with no luck.  My initial thought was under the createmap function in the if(map.loaded) statement...but no luck there.

Did you download the Basic Viewer template as a zip file and set it up on your web server? If so you can add the code that Steve suggested to the layout.js file and everything should just work.

If you selected the Publish option and the application is being hosted by ArcGIS Online then you do not have access to the source code and you can't make the change.
