HOW TO

Prevent layer names from being displayed in an HTML Viewer's TOC

Last Published: April 25, 2020

Summary

The HTML Viewer can be easily customized to not display certain layer names in the Table of Contents (TOC).

Note:
For information on how to achieve these results in an ArcIMS 3.1, 4.0, or 4.0.1 HTML Viewer, see the Customizing HTML Viewer documentation. A custom install must be done to load this PDF file.

Procedure



  1. Load the site's toc.htm file in a text editor.

  2. Find the following string:

    Code:
    for (var i=0;i<theCount;i++) {

    Note the lengthy if statement below this string.

  3. Type the following line below the if statement:

    Code:
    if (t.LayerName[i] != "<layer name>") {

    Where <layer name> is the layer you do not want displayed in the TOC.

    Note:
    This line determines whether the layer name gets written or not.

  4. Locate the following line of code below the code you just typed:

    Code:
    //alert(parent.MapFrame.LayerName[i]);

    Type a closing parenthesis to end the if statement you typed in Step 3.

  5. Save your edits.

  6. Clear your Web browser's cache.

  7. Reload the page to test.
