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.
