I have a feature class that stores the location of geo-tagged photos. I have built an editing page allowing users the ability to move features and edit attributes with regards to their photos. The problem I have is, I have no way to show the end user which photo they are editing. Is there a way I can embed a thumbnail image in an attribute inspector? The image file-name is stored as an attribute of the feature. The photo is also shared via a URL.
Or, is it possible to symbolize the actual points/markers with a thumbnail of the photo similar to google maps photo layer, etc.?
Depending on the number of locations you have the simplest approach would probably be the 'photo layer' option. Here's a jsfiddle that shows this approach:

The images being used are actually all different sizes but mostly around 200x150. Ideally you'd size them properly yourself but for demo purposes I just set the width,height in the PMS constructor to force the images to 24x24. f.symbol = new esri.symbol.PictureMarkerSymbol(f.attributes.Buckle,24,24);

Hi Kelly, I tried out your sample, but it didn't appear to do anything. It just displays the basemap. I'm not sure that your feature layer is rendering properly... am I missing something?
I just tested the code on jsfiddle and its working for me. Should display the basemap and a thumbnail for each race location. Are you running this locally?
Hey Kelly, I'm not running it locally - I just clicked your fiddle link. I've tried it in IE8, and nothing renders at all. I tried it in Firefox 18.0.2 and only the basemap renders. It does seem to work in Google Chrome 24.0.1312.57, showing a generic icon, but it doesn't seem to show any real image. Should all points have the same generic green hill, blue sky, white cloud icon?

Hey Kelly - I think I found part of my problem as to why your sample doesn't render quite right for me... My employer has blocked "dropbox" content on our network - inspecting your service, it looks like all of your images are stored on dropbox - so all I see is a generic image symbol...
