Search for Point works and zooms to extent but----

davidmaddison

I have created a basemap service in arcgis server 10 this has master map and a point layer in. when i open the page the map displays correctly and i am able to seach for a point the map zooms to the point and displays the point however the master map does not draw i have to move the map with the mouse to get the master map to display it is in the correct position so i know my search is working and zooming.  I have been over my javascript code below i am now begining to think this is a arcgis server issue any ideas?

var map;

            map.setExtent(PointExtent);

Hi David,

I believe the problem is the extent is wrong when you try to zoom to the feature.  Try the following instead:

var map;
var findTask, findParams;

function init(){
    map = new esri.Map("map")

    var basemap = new esri.layers.ArcGISDynamicMapServiceLayer("http://myserver/ArcGIS/rest/services/Basemap/MapServer");
    map.addLayer(basemap);
    
    //Create Find Task using Post code layer
    findTask = new esri.tasks.FindTask("http://myserver/ArcGIS/rest/services/Basemap/MapServer/");
    //Create the find parameters
    findParams = new esri.tasks.FindParameters();
    findParams.returnGeometry = true;
    findParams.layerIds = [0];
    findParams.searchFields = ["NAME"];
    findParams.outSpatialReference = map.spatialReference;
}
    
function doFind(){
        //Set the search text to the value in the box
        findParams.searchText = dojo.byId("name").value;
        findTask.execute(findParams, showResults);
}
    
function showResults(results){
    
    map.graphics.clear();
    var symbol = new esri.symbol.SimpleMarkerSymbol(esri.symbol.SimpleMarkerSymbol.STYLE_DIAMOND, 10,
    new esri.symbol.SimpleLineSymbol(esri.symbol.SimpleLineSymbol.STYLE_SOLID,
    new dojo.Color([0, 0, 0]), 1),
    new dojo.Color([255, 255, 0, 1]));
    
    //Create items array
    var items = [];
    for (var i = 0, il = results.length; i < il; i++) {
        items.push(results.feature.attributes); //append each attribute list as item in store
        var graphic = results.feature;
        graphic.setSymbol(symbol);
        map.graphics.add(graphic);
    }
    
    
    for (var i = 0, il = map.graphics.graphics.length; i < il; i++) {
    var currentGraphic = map.graphics.graphics;    
    }
    
    extent = pointToExtent(map, currentGraphic.geometry.x, currentGraphic.geometry.y, 6)
    map.setExtent(extent);

}

function pointToExtent(map, pointX, pointY, toleranceInPixel) {
       var pixelWidth = map.extent.getWidth() / map.width;
       var toleraceInMapCoords = toleranceInPixel * pixelWidth;
       return new esri.geometry.Extent( pointX - toleraceInMapCoords,
                    pointY - toleraceInMapCoords,
                    pointX + toleraceInMapCoords,
                    pointY + toleraceInMapCoords,
                    map.spatialReference );                           
}

dojo.addOnLoad(init);

The function 'pointToExtent' will calculate the extent based off of the selected graphics X and Y coordinates.
