I am completely new to javascript and trying to do more than I should right now but............
I got my layers up using this sample code
https://developers.arcgis.com/javascript/jssamples/ed_simpletoolbar.html
everything looks fine I just don't have any layers in the legend to click on to edit.
I have 1 feature layer that does not have symbology for different attributes (the template was created by ArcGIS). Do I need a template picker or an array if I am using a simple polygon feature layer?
