Has anyone built a find coordinates tool for a JavaScript application?  I have a python script built to do this for the Silverlight Viewer, but now I am interested in building a find coordinates tool for our JavaScript applications.  Right now, I am using the 3.5 API legacy code, but plan to upgrade to 3.9 really soon.

The tool needs:

Input X:
Input Y:

as the parameters and I am hoping if possible to use a geometry service to locate the point on the map with a marker symbol and perhaps a label.  The tool will also need to convert the coordinates from state plane coordinates to decimal degrees.

Are there any samples out there or does anyone have any ideas?  Any feedback will greatly be appreciated.  Thanks.

In case you use the webappbuilder, I created this: ArcGIS Web Application

For the WebApp Builder, there's also the Coordinate Conversion widget from the Solutions team that might be useful some people reading this geonet question. This widget converts input coordinates to various notation formats like MGRS for example. https://github.com/Esri/solutions-webappbuilder-widgets/tree/dev/CoordinateConversion

To play with it, go to http://esri.github.io/solutions-webappbuilder-widgets/ - "Coordinate Conversion" is the third widget.
