I have a web mapping application built with javascript and the javascript API. I needed a legend/Table of Contents that was dynamic and had layers that could be turned on and off. I searched the ArcGIS javascript api samples and found nothing like this so I searched other areas and found a legend/TOC that had the functionality I needed. It comes from the gmaps-utility-gis. A google search will find it easily. Here is my app
http://174.137.97.101/911Address/Default.aspxThe problem is I would feel more comfortable staying with the ArcGIS API for this functionality so no compatibility issues arise in the future. Why would it be a good idea for ESRI to add something like this to the API
1. I would say 90% of the web maps I visit from around the country have legends with layers that can be manually turned on and off.
2. I think it would be an important addition to the ArcGIS API to stay ahead of the curve.
3. In my search for the gmaps legend I found many other developers who were looking for this funtionality.
4. users need the capability to toggle on/off layers. For example, If I have multiple imagery datasets from different years a user may want to turn these on and off for comparison. This would be true of many vector datasets.
Thanks
