HelloI am a GIS Technician working for the City of Fayetteville, AR.We are trying to use the Filter Template Web App to allow a user to dynamically show different types of businesses in the city. I was asked if I could change the input box for the dynamic filter so that it shows as a drop-down menu of the various groupings of businesses we have, instead of the text box that goes there by default. Does anybody know of a process to accomplish this? Is there a good way to accomplish this through other means?It seems simple in theory, but what's actually in the code is way over my head. I have a very limited knowledge of javascript (and coding in general), but am the best in the office for the task. I downloaded the code, and found this from lines 104-111 of "layout.js":/*
* Build the filter dialog including explanatory text and add a submit button for each filter group.
*/
var filterContainer = dojo.create("div",{
id: "container",
className: options.i18n.isRightToLeft ? 'esriRtl' : 'esriLtr',
innerHTML: options.filterInstructions || options.i18n.viewer.filterInstructions
});
I'm guessing this is the part where it makes the input box, but I have no clue how to get this to become a menu. Any help would be much appreciated.
