Hi I would appreciate best thoughts on the way to provide a cross platform Web App (desktop, mobile) solution using javascript, dojo, dojos, dojox.mobile which would work on the desktop and mobile. Obviously a compromise, but  :- 1. Would it be workable at all? 2. Could I use the mobile api and expect it to work on Desktop? 3. Could I use the desktop api and expect it to work on mobile? I have tinkered with the compact build but immediately ran up against  a deferred tasks identity problem (not just "requiring" identify, - there was no error and no response when clicking on something). And this doen't give mobile widgets as such anyway. I would have to port what I have done so far which is not much. I could start again using dojox.mobile for example. I would intend to use widgets which would be 'suitable' on both. I guess a lot of pop up behaviour  instead of permanent space for controls etc. Tanks for any direction, Ian ... View more

Hi, I am trying to understand digit popup functionality. I have used it when set to the InfoWindow, but I believe this means there can only be one popup visible at a time. I want to "pop up" a pane to include layers to then include in my printed map. So I do have to associate the popup with the info window? If not, could anyone provide an example of popping up and pane from a button. I can't find an example anywhere. Thanks, Ian ... View more

Hi, I have an odd situation where query results are not returned consistently in IE. The app works fine in Firefox. I enter a string in an html "input" and do a query for that attribute value. In IE I have to press return 3 or 4 times before the results are returned to a grid. Some times there is no error but nothing is retuned Sometimes I get the geometry but the grid is not filled Sometimes I get an object error - the message is #error 1, description is empty ON the last attempt the query returns correctly and the grid is filled. I can supply code but I thought it might be useful to get some higher level comments as to what may be happening. All the query and task variables are in the main js page, the query code is in a separate js file. Again, this all works fine in Firefox, Any suggestions gratefully received, Ian ... View more

Hi, I get the following error when trying to draw lines, polygons using the Draw widget. I can add text. This is also only occurring from certain machines within the same network. I don't believe this a security error. It seems more likely that it is a library issue on individual machine? It appears  to be the machine as all projects that use Draw widget are broken on that machine so it does't look like it is a corrupt swf for the Draw widget. Does anyone have any ideas on how to isolate the issue?  What is the Draw widget doing that is different from all the other widgets that are working on the suspect machines? I have thought of the geometry service which the the esri one but this has been working for a long time. The general setup has been stable for some time.

I am having continuing problems trying to exlcude layers for the dynamic legend. No layer I specify in the config for dynamic legend is excluded. I post some of the main config file and dynamic legend.xml  file. Thanks for any  help. Ian configuration> <!--mapservice must be specified, and is the label of the layer (Map Service) as   listed in the config.xml.

I guess this will apply to any of the seach widgets but I am interseted in changing the highlight colour of the search results. When I have several layers which intersect the effect is that you can't see what you were seaching for as it blanked out by red. Can I change this to perhaps just the boundaries or a very transparent fill. Also I havent added the lines graphicsLayer.name = "myGraLay"; graphicsLayer.id = "myGraLay"; of code for the Eseach widget and all seems to be working - what do these do ? ... View more
