GIS StackExchange is the first website that I've come across that has come near to answering my question, but somehow I can't work the answer out in my head/or the answers here have confused things more.

I'd like to put a simple identify button on a web map. In simple terms, I want a map where the identify task is disconnected onload with an equally simple toggle on/off identify button.

I understand that you need to dojo.disconnect the onclick identify function and that you then need to dojo.connect it back in the onclick of a button but I can't work out how it all comes together. I've read and re-read the ArcGIS JavaScript API 'working with events' page but this too has lost me.

Any help would be great.

Your best answer would be to look to this thread, it has a working sample of where you want to be going Previous discussion on toolbar toggle.

You can see where he has a connection happening, the basic identify function, and then where you can toggle the connect/disconnect to get it working over and over.
