Popup content in side panel

Description

This sample demonstrates how to display popup content outside of a popup or info window. At version 3.3 of the ArcGIS API for JavaScript you can define a Popup and specify that you do not want the popup to display when a user selects a feature on the map but the events associated with the popup will still occur. This means that you can listen to events like the Popup's 'onSelectionChange' event and retrieve the popup content for display.
