Hello,

I am following this example to display a legend with checkboxes to show/hide the layers.

When I load the page, the layer icons are visible, but the layer titles do not show up. Note that I am working with featurelayers and not arcgisdynamicservicelayers like in the example.

I am attaching my map.js file. Please let me know if you see anything or have any guidance to get the titles to show up.

Thanks in advance, I appreciate the help!

Hi Jimmy,

I just ran a quick test using the sample code but substituting your services and the layer title's show up in the legend. I took a quick look at your code and didn't see anything - perhaps there's something in your css that's hiding the legend titles? Here's my test code:

Thanks for the suggestion, Jake. I thought that was going to work, but I got the same result (no title showing up).

Starting to look like a hard-coded static image is in my future...

I've noticed the missing title issue too. I've found it will show up on subsequent refresh's of the legend.
