Embed Points in Single HTML Map Page

[glennlawrence]

Can anyone advise where I might find a tutorial on how to create a simple Map and add Markers/Points with popup InfoWindows and have all the code embedded in a single HTML page?

I have been browsing the Developer Samples but cannot seem to find a sample or tutorial on how to do this.

Many thanks in advance...

Glenn,

something like this? I have created map points and when you click on them or the buttons a pop-up will appear.

That's exactly it Tim,

Would there be a limit on the amount of markers/points I can have in a single page/map?

Cheers...

[TimWitt]

I don't think so. Depending on how many points you wan't, your code will just get big.

[glennlawrence]

Sounds good...

I probably won't have more than a couple hundred per Map so I would imaging this won't be too much of an issue.

Just as a side note, I'm quite new to Mapping and ArcGIS but looking throught the examples on the Dev site I can see we can add many options like Legends, Filtering, Searching etc. Will it be possible for me to incorporate these additions into that sample page you put together?

[TimWitt]

I'm sure this is somehow possible, but most of those samples depend on a MapService published with ArcServer.

[glennlawrence]

Ah, I see.

Is there are published list to show what can be used without ArcServer?

[TimWitt]

Not that I'm aware of. Depending on how knowledgeable you are with javascript, you can almost do anything, unless they strictly say it can only be done with a certain ArcGIS tool that you might not be able to access since you don;t have ArcServer.

Well we won't go into the js knowledge right now...:)

But I was also thinking about trying to use some of the pre-built apps from ArcGIS online. I seen some demos were you can create and share a Map on ArcGIS online then download one of the App templates. You then just change the webmap ID to point to the Map you created.

Do you know if I can do this and still manually add in the points that you put into that sample? I have a sample here that is using the Basic Viewer App. Can I manually add in some points also to this map?

[TimWitt]

Good question, but I don't know.
