Overviewmap Maximize

Question

I created an overviewlayer using the following guide: http://help.arcgis.com/en/webapi/javascript/arcgis/help/jsapi_start.htm#jsapi/overviewmap.htm Everything works fine, but the maximize button will not show up. Do I need to add functionality to handle the event or does it automatically handle it? Here is my code:overviewMap = new esri.dijit.OverviewMap({ map: _map, expandFactor: 1, maximizeButton:true}, dojo.byId("overviewDiv")); overviewMap.startup();

I see that this thread was wrotten in 2012, but i had the same issue and if someone is helpful it, my issue was resolved when I added the height and width parameter to instantiate the OverviewMap.

Kelly,
It is very weird. It does not appear on mine and I tried FF/IE/Chrome.
Do i need to include anything else beside :   dojo.require("esri.dijit.OverviewMap"); for the button.

Only other thing I can think of is z-index. I have the overviewDiv set at z-index =998

Also, i see you have created it a little different. Mine is outside the main map (added , dojo.byId("overviewDiv")); at the end)
Can you please check if it works for you if you create it outside too?
Thanks

If I modify the Overview Map sample from the help to set maximizeButton to true the maximize button appears for me. There is a bit of flakiness (in some browsers) when you first click the maximize button that will be fixed at the next release. But the button should appear:
          //add the overview map 
          var overviewMapDijit = new esri.dijit.OverviewMap({
            map: map,
            visible:false,
            maximizeButton:true
          });
          overviewMapDijit.startup();
