All, this was an easy fix and thanks to John G. for giving me a kick in the butt to look for the error in the code.
Basically there was a line to add the graphic that I was creating, but instead I still had the reference to the graphicsLayer. Easy. Thanks for all your help!
So I'm trying to put all my graphics into the main map graphics layer (rather than create a new graphics layer).
It works - but only 1/2 the time.
Basically, a user clicks the button to do a geocode > queryies > display the results, and it seems to work ok the first time.
However, if you click it again, the error TypeError: a.getDojoShape is not a function shows up.
But... if you click it again, it works just fine (ie. first graphics layer clears, new graphics appear as I would expect).
So I'm wondering If I have something out of order, or, as some (ancient) forum posts suggest, there is another Dojo require I need to add?
Thank you!!!
