Bill,<br><br>I have some apps that use HTML legends and custom metadata variables. See <a href="http://earth.gis.usu.edu/utah/advanced.phtml" target="_blank">http://earth.gis.usu.edu/utah/advanced.phtml</a>
for one. The groups of data are collapsible, and I also use metadata
to figure out which ones should have legends shown in the TOC, which
ones should have links to legends, etc (at least I think that's how I
did that -- it was a while ago and I'm too lazy at the moment to go
hunt down the files). If you're interested, I'll take the time to find
some sample files for you.<br>

I've been searching the 'net and asking questions here for the last two days on HTML Legends, and outside of the standard MS documentation (which has some very confusing bits in it for one who's unfamiliar with the way it works) I've not found anything relevant on this topic except my own questions echoed back at me from nabble and some interestingly-titled documents that are inaccessible because they were on the old MS website. And so far the forum's been silent on the issue as well.<br>
<br>
But I have discovered one old message hinting at clever ways to use nested [if] statements with custom metadata variables to make a very useful layer control with collapse and expand features and more. I want to learn more about that but I'd like to skip the time-consuming process of learning by trial and error.<br>
<br>
So can anyone point me to some documentation that goes into more detail about what HTML Legends can really do or direct me to one or two URLs that demonstrate some advanced techniques with nested [if] ...[/if] blocks and custom metadata variables?<br>
