Combine identify task with results in tab content frame

WilliamShuart — Thu, 02 Dec 2010 13:08:28 GMT

Hello-
I'm realtivly new to the api... I'm using the map layout sample and the identify sample to combine them. I'm trying to allow the user to identify a polygon and then show the results of the identify in a tab next to the legend tab. I'll post my code below. I can get a map, but haven't been able to get the identify working yet - nor display it in the tab instead of the common infowindow.

Thanks for the help! I'd be interestested in comments on the code or any samples anyone has that might that might help. Thanks!

this sample puts the results of an identify inside tabs (inside an infowindow).

Thanks-
yes, I used the skeleton of that code to perform the identify. However, I do not want an 'infowindow'. I want the results to be displayed in a tab off of the map (see image).

So, I combined the tabbed layout/legend sample and the identify sample. I have the legend showing up, I just can't get the results of the identify operation to show in a "results' tab off the map.

if you look in the sample, the content for the tabs are produced in the function layerTabContent.

this function returns formatted html. just send the results of that function to the div ie: (dojo.byId(mytabdivid)) that identifies the tab you want to use to show the identify data.

heh. since the function is for two tabs, it wont work out of the box for you, but hopefully you get the idea of how to go about it.
