Layer List

[MathewSuran]

Can anyone lend their expertise on how to edit what layers are displayed under the layerlist?  I have an app that is 95% complete and their are 4 layers that are no longer functioning that I want to remove from the list.  The app was prebuilt but not finished and I have been tasked to complete it.  I have figured out most of the coding on my own as I have been going along.  I can post whatever code you need to assist.  I know this is vague but hopefully someone is knowledgeable in this area.  Thanks!

what is a layerlist?

I think you are asking a custom code question, without showing code.

[MathewSuran]

Thanks for the respond.  The layerlist is the function that they used to compile the list of layers that will be available for display (I assume).  You can see the function in the code below.  There is a right toolbar with a dropdown menu of layers that can be "checked" to be visible on the map (hopefully you can visualize that).  See if you can figure out what they did, here's the code:

[HTML]var i18n;
      dojo.ready(function(){
        i18n = dojo.i18n.getLocalization("esriTemplate","template");
        var  defaults = {
layerInfos: [
            /*{"id":"...","name":"...","url":"http://...","visibility":false,"opacity":0.7,"type":"MapService","description":"..."}

Have to attach the js code in another post, went over 10000 characters.
