Sorry to be a bit off topic but has Esri or anyone else thought about allowing the user to save out a number of attributes that comprise a "state" of the map. So zoom level, layers that are on or off, layer order, changed colors of a dynamic layer, etc.
That way a user could get the map looking just the way they want then email someone a link or "map view state" file - so a hey look at this kind of thing. It would also be really cool to be able to save the state at say 4:55 so that a user could start back where there were the next morning versus starting over.
I did something similar where I used toc.includelayers = [] then added to that list as the user added maps they wanted. Then i had a save to a txt file button that could be sent to someone else to upload into the map. It would be great to go beyond that.
I know someone could take the layers and build their own map but that is a lot more work.
thanks.
