esri.digit.print

I can not seem to get my print to recognise a template.

In the INIT function I have:

printer = new esri.dijit.Print({  
map: map, 
templates: template,
url: "http://gistest2:6080/arcgis/rest/services/Utilities/PrintingTools/GPServer/Export%20Web%20Map%20Task"
},  dojo.byId("printButton"));   
printer.startup();

This work well, except for the template.  I defined the template variable in the init function, before the printer as:

var template = new esri.tasks.PrintTemplate();
template: [{    
label: "Map it",    
format: "GIF",    
layout: "A4 Portrait",    
  exportOptions: {      
  width: 200,     
  height: 200,      
  dpi: 96 } 

}];


I get a map, but none of the template formating is seen.

Another way to ask the above question is... how does one get the Print digit to recognize a template?


template = new esri.tasks.PrintTemplate();  
template.exportOptions = {     width: 500,     height: 400,     dpi: 96   };  
template.format = "PDF";  
template.layout = "MAP_ONLY";  
template.preserveScale = false;

printer = new esri.dijit.Print({  
"map": map,
"templates":template,
url: "http://gistest2:6080/arcgis/rest/services/Utilities/PrintingTools/GPServer/Export%20Web%20Map%20Task"
},  dojo.byId("printButton"));   
printer.startup();
 
}   //End of Init()

I do not get a pdf.  I get the default png. as an output, with default sizes.

the templates parameter in the print widget is an array of template.

the templates parameter in the print widget is an array of template.

In the first example(seen below), i believe that it is defined as an array..... the dijit still does not recognize it.

templates: [{     label: "Map",     format: "PDF",     layout: "MAP_ONLY",     exportOptions: {       width: 500,       height: 400,       dpi: 96     }   }, {     label: "Layout",     format: "PDF",     layout: "A4 Portrait",     layoutOptions: {       titleText: "My Print",       authorText: "esri",       copyrightText: "My Company",       scalebarUnit: "Miles",     }   }]

The correct syntax for assigning values to a variable is
var template =  [{
label: "Map it",
format: "GIF",
layout: "A4 Portrait",
exportOptions: {
width: 200,
height: 200,
dpi: 96 }
}];

THANK YOU THANK YOU AND THANKS AGAIN!  A "=" instead of a ":" !!!  I starred at this for hours and read over the ":" a hundred times and never saw it.
