Arcgis.com web mapping applications and widgets

Question

Hello,

I am wondering if it is possible to extend the web mapping applications created with the Arcgis.com Map viewer with e.g. query widghets (such as http://help.arcgis.com/en/webapps/flexviewer/help/index.html#/Query_widget/01m30000000t000000/ or something similar written in javascript)?

I am aware that it would be better, and probably easier, to just create a WMA from scratch using Flex/Javascript and link it to our GIS server, however my work will not have access to ArcGIS Server for about 6 months. The reason I'm asking is that I would like to add some query possibilities to an incredibly simple WMA; I want the users to be able to search and select polygons based on for instance area (or 2-3 other attributes).

Yes, it is possible... Check out the JavaScript API. Here's a link to the samples section.
