I am using this service
map = new esri.Map("mapDiv");
var layer = new esri.layers.ArcGISDynamicMapServiceLayer("http://lrs.co.columbia.wi.us/ArcGIS/rest/services/LRS/TaxParcels_Parcels/MapServer")
map.addLayer(layer);
var expandFactor = 2500
newExtent.xmin = newExtent.xmin - expandFactor;
newExtent.ymin = newExtent.ymin - expandFactor;
newExtent.xmax = newExtent.xmax + expandFactor;
newExtent.ymax = newExtent.ymax + expandFactor;
map.setExtent(newExtent);
I am also getting back the geometry from a query task. I am wondering if there is a way to set the extent so it is not a standard expand factor but instead will expand out only to include the outlying areas of the returned geometryedit: This search is showing all the property within a specified number of miles from a point that the end user selected. The query task is returning all the geometry of everything with a certain radius. I am attempting to find a way to have the map zoom out to only show everything within that user specified radius. So if the end user selects a 40 feet the application just needs to zoom out to show all the area 40 feet around that point. If the user selects 5280 feet, zoom out to show everything within a mile. The query task is returning the extent information of all the areas around that point so I am wondering if there is a way to zoom out so the end user can see everything and not have it get cut off when I am using a hard coded number or if I am just basing it off of the number of feet the end user search off of.
