Can't configure pop-up

I've added a layer from a .txt file and cannot configure the pop-up window for the layer. The map is shared at http://bit.ly/LIFSYc. I haven't had an issue with this before, but for some reason no matter how I save this file I can't seem to get the pop-up to configure. I've tried saving it as a csv, tab delimited text, etc.

Any thoughts?

The text file I'm using is now attached.

Thanks.

Update:

Even after conversion to a shapefile and importing the point layer into Arcgis online, I still can't configure the pop-up window. When clicking on Configure Pop-up nothing happens except a javascript message (see attached photo). I edited everything in the file that I believe could have been causing issues (strange characters in header row, etc.) but nothing seems to help. I'm stumped.


Edit: After multiple page refreshes and map saves it finally let me configure the pop-up for the shape file points, but it isn't consistent. Sometimes I'll get the javascript message and nothing else happens, and other times it will open the Configure Pop-up menu window. Very bizarre behavior. I still get the attached error for any text file I upload, however.

I too am unable to configure popups against your uploaded dataset. It also seems to prevent configuring popups against other layers in the web map. Can you try adding the shapefile alone (perhaps you did already)? The problem appears to be specific to this dataset. We'll have to investigate it further. My guess is that there is a file parsing error as there is a lot of data in this txt file. You might also want to try to use quotes on some values. It seems like the column with parenthesis is not working correctly...



Thanks,

Mike

Turns out the problem is quite simple. Your data has two columns each named zip and notes. Column names must be unique, so you need to rename them.

Awesome, thanks Mike. I'll edit the table and give it a try. Thanks for the help.

Edit: Yup, that did the trick. What a rookie move.
