@ _js Ok that makes sense.  I have not switched back to the stack container yet but with the divs I was able to call initMap the first time the map page loads and it is now working as expected. @ btfou I did try that and If I remember I had every pane and parent set to 100% width and height, but I will do some more testing later tonight after work just to be sure, it's currently working with div's and calling my initMap function when that particular div becomes visible, so I'll see if I can get this working inside the stack container widget.  This was failing in the browser as I often just test things in Safari to make sure they at least load before I run the app through XCode and then test it on my iPhone or iPad. Thanks guys, I appreciate the response. ... View more

So I tried some new things.  I removed the StackContainer from the equation and made a very simple layout with three div's that change their display property.  I changed all three Content Panes in the Stack Container to normal div's with display set to none, I then set the homepage display to block and when a button was hit to change page I would just change the page's display to block and the previous page's display to none.  This results in the same thing.  When I change to the map it shows up in 400 x 400.  Could it be that just because when I create the map, if the parentDiv the map lives in has the display set to none then it defaults to this size? ...

sounds like some css needs to be tweaked to make sure that the position of the other buttons is not effected by the position of the new button. I have not seen the code for the basic template viewer before but I imagine if you look into the css files you might see some relative position or something for the original buttons. ... View more

you can definitely dig into the layers in the web map in an application written with our API.  this sample loops through the webmap layers to add them to a legend. Thanks I have done this a few times, the API makes it pretty simple. it sounds however like you are currently sharing a link to open the original web map (perhaps in the standard arcgis.com viewer?).  in order to build out the functionality you describe you would need to be linking to a configurable web application (that loads a web map based on its id) and similarly pulls additional information out of the Url to write a definition query on the fly. But this is exactly what I was going for.  The webmap is currently living on the standard viewer.  I think my project manager would prefer I do this through the standard AGOL viewer but it sounds like at this time that is not possible. I will suggest this as an alternative to her as this would be fairly simple to build and see if it's something we can do.  Thanks a lot, I appreciate the response. ... View more

Thanks for the response, How would I get access to the layer though to apply the layer definition?  If it were for the map in my app I think this would be very easy but because it is a webmap on an AGOL account I don't have access to the layer(atleast not that I know of).  I am just giving my user an <a> tag with the link to the webmap to open it in a new page.  I was hoping to be able to have it open with a particular definition set on it. ...

Ok. Thanks for the help, I really appreciate it. Yes I was able to reproduce the problem and it is a bug in the JSAPI that we'll get fixed for the next release. Kelly ... View more

Hey Kelly, I was curious if you were able to recreate that bug I had mentioned or if it seems like I may be doing something wrong on my end? I had a meeting with my project manager the other day and it seems they really like the editor widget and would prefer I use that than building my own reshape and cut tool and connecting them to the geometry service. I was able to build a workaround for now by hiding the select box that was causing the error and placing a few buttons(one for each option that was in my select) in the toolbar that when clicked, will force the drawToolbar to activate a different drawing tool. This works for now but seems like kind of a hack. ... View more

Thanks for pointing that out Kelly, I will give it a shot. ... View more

Update on this.  Thanks for pointing out that sample Kelly, it looks like I can get most of the behavior I will be needing from doing that with the exception of the reshape and cut tool.  If there is a way I can add those to the toolbar that would be great. On a separate note, I have noticed from doing some more testing that I am getting an error with the editor widget and was noticing the same error in one of the samples located here:   http://help.arcgis.com/en/webapi/javascript/arcgis/samples/ed_simpletoolbar/index.html The error is  - TypeError: 'undefined' is not an object (evaluating 'this._activeTool._enabled') and points to Editor-all.js line 19 This happens when I select a template from the template picker, then select the drawing tool I wish to use via this select widget (see attached photo).  Then if I move the mouse to the map I lose the tooltip and cannot draw. Upon selecting the template picker again I see this error and cannot draw any items on the map.  Everything works fine until I try to change the drawing tool. [ATTACH=CONFIG]20731[/ATTACH] ...

Thanks again Kelly.  I will try that tomorrow morning to see if I can get it working.  However I did not see any options on the sample page or the api reference page about adding in the Reshape Tool or the Cut tool, do you know of any way I could maybe add those to the toolbar in the same way as the other options in that sample? ...

Thanks for the response Kelly.  I was looking for a little more functionality than what is in that sample.  I am looking to add in the editing toolbar as well which I took a screenshot of.  I would like to use this toolbar but not the attribute inspector. The code I am using for this is as follows:        var settings = {         map: map,         templatePicker: templatePicker,         layerInfos: [{featureLayer: editableLayer}],         toolbarVisible: true,         showAttributesOnClick: false,         createOptions: {          polygonDrawTools:[esri.dijit.editing.Editor.CREATE_TOOL_FREEHAND_POLYGON,esri.dijit.editing.Editor.CREATE_TOOL_AUTOCOMPLETE]         },         toolbarOptions: {          reshapeVisible: true,          cutVisible: true,          selectVisible: false         }        };        var params = {settings: settings};        var myEditor = new esri.dijit.editing.Editor(params,"editingTools");               myEditor.startup(); This seems to bring both the edit toolbar and the attribute inspector in, Is there a way to just get the edit toolbar? Here is the screenshot of the edit toolbar I currently have and need to keep. [ATTACH=CONFIG]20716[/ATTACH] If you need me to post more code just let me know I can, There is a lot of code in the app and I did not want to post more than was necessary ... View more
