Try this layout.  You can nest a BorderContainer as a region. Toolbar is top region in nested BorderContainer along with map as the center region.  For your right region just use a TabContainer. [HTML]<div data-dojo-type="dijit/layout/BorderContainer" data-dojo-props="design:'sidebar', gutters:true, liveSplitters:true, style:'width:100%;height:100%;margin:0;padding:0;z-index:1;'">   <div data-dojo-type="dijit/layout/ContentPane" data-dojo-props="region:'top', splitter:false, style:'height:100px;z-index:1;'">     Header   </div>   <div data-dojo-type="dijit/layout/BorderContainer" data-dojo-props="region:'center', design:'sidebar', gutters:true, liveSplitters:false, style:'z-index:1;'">     <div data-dojo-type="dijit/Toolbar" data-dojo-props="region:'top', style:'z-index:1;'">       <!-- Toolbar buttons here -->     </div> <div id="map" data-dojo-type="dijit/layout/ContentPane" data-dojo-props="Title:'Tab 1', style:'padding:0;overflow:hidden;z-index:1;'">           </div>   </div>   <div data-dojo-type="dijit/layout/TabContainer" data-dojo-props="region:'right', minSize:300, style:'width:300px;z-index:1;'">     <div data-dojo-type="dijit/layout/ContentPane" data-dojo-props="Title:'Tab 1'">       Right tab 1     </div>     <div data-dojo-type="dijit/layout/ContentPane" data-dojo-props="Title:'Tab 2'">       Right tab 2     </div>   </div> <div>[/HTML] ...

how do i get the data automatically using the esrirequest()  , when more data come in. or what is the best practice to do this. It depends on how many points you are going to load.  You can get all the points in one server call and add them to the map (equivalent to FeatureLayer SNAPSHOT mode), or you can connect to the map's zoom-end & pan-end events, requesting just the points within the map's extent (equivalent to FeatureLayer ONDEMAND mode). The latter seems like it would work best if new database entries are being created in real time albeit quite a bit more complex on the client side.  I would create a custom layer class in that scenario. ...

Close the input tag. <input /> ... View more

Is there a reason you don't just set the infoTemplate of the feature layer? ... View more

I'm not exactly 100% on the workflow that get's you to getTextContent(graphic) or how undefined would be returned if you return something else when SHELTER is undefined. ... View more

Try this: Add value as property: [HTML]<input id="toolBuffer" data-dojo-type="dijit/form/Button" data-dojo-props="iconClass:'findNear', showLabel: false, value: 'buff'"></button>[/HTML] Use .get('value') to get the value: dom.byId('toolBuffer').get('value'); ... View more

Joel, You can create your own json with php. Php is easy but any server side scripting, which can access the database will work, e.g. asp.net, etc.  Php has the json_encode() function which converts arrays to json.  Here's a sample that returns json of map annotation projects to the application for the user to select one to load. [PHP]<?php $user = $_POST["user"]; $mysqli = new mysqli("HOST", "USER", "PASSWORD", "DATABASE"); if ($mysqli->connect_errno) {   $connectfail = array(     'success' => false,     'message' => $mysqli->connect_error   );   echo json_encode($connectfail);   return; } if ($user === '*') {   $query = "SELECT id, project, description, created_by, created_time, updated_by, updated_time FROM anno_projects"; } else {   $query = "SELECT id, project, description, created_by, created_time, updated_by, updated_time FROM anno_projects WHERE created_by = '" . $user . "'"; } $result = $mysqli->query($query); if ($mysqli->error) {   $loadfail = array(     'success' => false,     'message' => $mysqli->error   );   echo json_encode($loadfail);   return; } while ($row = $result->fetch_assoc()) {   $project    = array(     'id' => (int) $row["id"],     'project' => $row["project"],     'description' => $row["description"],     'createdBy' => $row["created_by"],     'createdTime' => (float) $row["created_time"],     'updatedBy' => $row["updated_by"],     'updatedTime' => (float) $row["updated_time"]   );   $projects[] = $project; } $result->close(); $loadsuccess = array(   'success' => true,   'projects' => $projects,   'message' => 'Projects successfully retrieved.' ); echo json_encode($loadsuccess); $mysqli->close(); ?>[/PHP] Use esri.request to post any params and handle the response: esri.request({   url: 'html/anno/project-get-projects.php',   content: {     user: user   },   handleAs: 'json',   callbackParamName: 'callback' }, { usePost: true }).then(function (response) {   if (response.success) {     //console.log(response);     //create dgrid for user to select project to load   } else {     console.log(response.message);     app.error(response.message);   } }, function (error) {   console.log(error);   app.error('An error has occured.') }); ...

Look at Derek's post.  I missed the fact myFunction() wasn't also globally available. ... View more

onClick will not work on html elemets. You want onclick. <button onclick="myFunction()">Pick Point</button> onClick is a dojo event for widgets like dijit/form/Button. <div data-dojo-type="dijit/form/Button" data-dojo-props="label: 'Pick Point', onClick: function() { myFucntion() }"></div> ...
