I created a map service using 9.3.1 and configured the popups using the "As A URL" option where I have a URL as a prefix and an attribute of one of the fields as a suffix.  The map was loaded onto a ArcGIS server as a map service.  In ArcMap on the desktop the popup works great, but once it's on ArcGIS.com the popup doesn't work. 

What we did is create mobile formatted webpages that we would like to display in the map on ArcGIS.com and ultimately on the ipad/iphone app. 

The map can be found at http://www.arcgis.com/home/item.html?id=081be0874a3c4264a5e15a5a33325346

The URL's don't work right now because they're still on a webdev server, but we should have them live tomorrow.  Either way, I would think a "page could not be found" would display in the popup.

To make a long post even longer, I guess what I'm asking is can ArcGIS.com display a popup from a map service where the popup was created using the "As a URL" option in ArcMap?

Thanks!

Hopefully I understand your question correctly...

ArcGIS Online web maps don't support the HTML popup generated in ArcMap. (FYI, ArcGIS Server 9.3.1 doesn't provide access to the HTML popup at all. This was added at version 10, I believe.)

Do you want the html to display directly in the popup window? Or simply provide a link in the popup that goes to the specific web page? I've not tried this myself, but I believe it would work to copy the HTML into an attribute field of your data. Then in the web map, you can enable and configure a popup to display the html using the single field. To display a link, you'd need to provide one field with the URL.

Thanks,

Mike

Mike,

Thanks for the reply.  What I'm trying to do is display the html directly in the popup window.  It's a bummer that ArcGIS online doesn't support the HTML pop-up created in ArcMap.  Our server is going to 10 in a couple of months and hopefully by then esri will make that feature available on ArcGIS.com.
