I'm having problems with a map that has many layers.  I'm getting one of those obscure errors that doesn't help you one bit.  I believe there is an issue with one of my layers, but I've combed through the rest end point and my layer constructors and everything looks OK.  I know I've seen this before - someone posted a chuck of code that would check that the layer was valid before adding, so it was easier to troubleshoot which layer has the problem.  It gave you some feedback in the console that told you if there was a problem or not. Keywords like map, layer, add are all so generic that searching on these words doesn't help.  Does anyone remember writing or seeing this code so I could incorporate it into my project? ...

In this project the user can enable a buffer tool.  When the select a city, it selects the counties within a buffer distance, summarizes the populations of those counties and adds these as attributes to a circle I'm adding as a graphic in my buffer layer.  It's sort of like Select with Feature Layer | ArcGIS API for JavaScript , except the information is stored in my featureService, so the user can keep the summaries they generate. I have two different years of data.  To manage this, I have two different layers in my featureService, one for current and one for projected.   In my footer, I have two different grids that represent the summary values for each of the two layers.  I have a tab container with content panes for my grids.  When I tested all this out, I only had one layer.  Now that I've introduced the 2nd, its grid is not populating.  I can look at the featureService and see there are graphics getting added to the 2nd layer.  However the function I have for populating the grid never fires.  The grid itself seems to be getting created, it's just empty. I have some event listeners set up:    initEvents:function (){                              on (app.bufferLayer_p, 'edits-complete', function (adds,updates,deletes){         console.log("your edits are complete in bufferLayer_p");         myGrid.populateGrid(app.bufferLayer_p,app.totalsGrid_p);       });             on(app.bufferLayer_p, "error", function (err){        console.log("error in bufferLayer_p: " + err.message);       });            on.once(app.bufferLayer_p, 'update-end', function(){       console.log("update-end on app.bufferLayer_p")      myGrid.populateGrid(app.bufferLayer_p,app.totalsGrid_p);     });         on (app.bufferLayer_c, 'edits-complete', function (adds,updates,deletes){         console.log("your edits are complete in bufferLayer_c");         myGrid.populateGrid(app.bufferLayer_c,app.totalsGrid_c);       });             on(app.bufferLayer_c, "error", function (err){        console.log("error in bufferLayer_c: " + err.message);       });            on.once(app.bufferLayer_c, 'update-end', function(){      myGrid.populateGrid(app.bufferLayer_c,app.totalsGrid_c);      console.log("update-end on app.bufferLayer_c")     });     } It doesn't look like the update-end event is ever firing for my 2nd layer, the one I'm calling app.bufferLayer_p. If I could figure out how to use js-bin for something this complicated, I would.  Instead, I'm attaching my code.   In order to try this out, you must A) open the buffer tool B) Click enable buffer C) zoom in closer to the map so you can see the cities.   The idea is that we're looking at statistics centered around a specific town, so the buffer will have an attribute for City. ...

I have a footer as a contentPane defined as <div id="footer" data-dojo-type="dijit/layout/ContentPane" data-dojo-props="region:'bottom'"> I have a buffer tool based on a button click that will open a grid in the footer.  Until that tool is activated, I'd rather not see the footer at all.  Not only do I want to set a height to it, but I also want to set the splitter property on it. I thought I could use dom-style like domStyle.set("footer", "splitter", "true"), and also set the height this way, but it doesn't work. ... View more

Maybe someone can spot what I'm missing.  I have a popupTemplate based on data that is from a linked table.  I am creating a pie chart.  All the values for the chart are in the join table, and from the layer, I just need county name.  Both the layer and the table are in a file geodatabase. If I create a plain infoTemplate, defined as var genericInfoTemplate = new InfoTemplate("generic", "${*}"); I can see all the values I want, both from the layer and the joined table.  The county name is available as county.COUNTYNAME Here is my rest endpoint: Layer: Veteran Population by Race - current (ID: 2) Here is how I'm trying to defined my popupTemplate:   var raceTemplate = new PopupTemplate({     title: "{county.COUNTYNAME}: Current Veteran Population by Race",     fieldInfos: [{         fieldName: "VetPop_current_Race.EstAsianVetPop",         visible: true,         format: { places: 0 },         label:"Asian"       },{         fieldName: "VetPop_current_Race.EstBlackVetPop",         visible: true,         format: { places: 0 },         label:"Black"       },{         fieldName: "VetPop_current_Race.EstHispanicVetPop",         visible: true,         format: { places: 0 },         label:"Hispanic"       },{         fieldName: "VetPop_current_Race.EstWhiteVetPop",         visible: true,         format: { places: 0 },         label:"White"       },{         fieldName: "VetPop_current_Race.EstMultiRaceVetPop",         visible: true,         format: { places: 0 },         label:"Multi-Race"       },{         fieldName: "VetPop_current_Race.EstOtherVetPop",         visible: true,         format: { places: 0 },         label:"Other"     }],     mediaInfos: [{       type: "piechart",       caption: "Hover to see value for each race",         value: {           fields: [             "VetPop_current_Race.EstMultiRaceVetPop",             "VetPop_current_Race.EstOtherVetPop",             "VetPop_current_Race.EstWhiteVetPop" ,             "VetPop_current_Race.EstBlackVetPop",             "VetPop_current_Race.EstHispanicVetPop",             "VetPop_current_Race.EstAsianVetPop"           ] ,           theme: "PrimaryColors"         }       }] }); Besides not using PopupTemplates very often, this is also the first time I've defined infoTemplates in an ArcGISDynamicMapServiceLayer using myLayername.setInfoTemplates.  I don't know if that makes any difference or not. ...
