Change attribute used for a renderer

Description

This functionality requires an ArcGIS Server 10.1 service.

Dynamic layers provide the ability to change the renderer(s) for layers in a dynamic map service. In this sample, a drop-down list is populated with attribute field names for a layer that is displayed on the map using an ArcGIS Server 10.1 dynamic layer and a dynamic map service layer. When the selected field changes, a new map image is requested using the new field as the basis for the layer's renderer.
