Random Question:

Trying to get a legend symbol/icon/picture to use as a button. Something that is just an image with no text on it. My basic google searches of "legend icon" "map legend icon "legend image" etc are showing up with either gaming pictures, or photos of bob marley. Can anybody point me towards a good image to use?

You could make one to match the look and feel of your app pretty quickly...the generally accepted icon seems to be a dot with a dash next to it stacked a couple of times (on the off chance you know morse code, think letter A). A Google images search for "map legend icon" turns up a few results that might lead to more inspired icons...

Take a look at the symbol for the legend in the Basic Viewer templatehttp://www.arcgis.com/apps/OnePane/basicviewer/images/Legend16.png

There's also the legend icon from the sprite used by the Social Media templatehttp://www.arcgis.com/apps/SocialMedia/images/ui/uiSprite.png?v=3.01 (top row, second from the right).

Thanks. That was more or less what I was going for. On a slightly related note: I need my buttons to open the contentpane from the middle. The default seems to be to open from the left. Any ideas how to go about this? I'm running into trouble with my button content running off the viewable page resulting in the user needing to scroll right..

I would pay good money for a web map template with Bob Marley-themed icons
