Hi Jim, I was able to reproduce the same error message.  Calling destroy() should prevent this.  After calling the destroy method, I checked the dijit.registry and the editorDiv widget was not there.  I'm not sure where else this could be stored.  This may be a bug.  I'm curious, when you enable editing do you have to execute your menu selection twice when you start an edit session for the first time?  When I start my edit session for the first time, I have to click on the 'Start Editing' button twice. Steven beat me to it (by some time, I need to check the forum more often!).  Since my code has the dojo.connect call before adding the layer, I did not see the behavior you mentioned.  About calling destroy() on the widget, I found the issue.  Destroy() doesn't do enough - according to the Dojo documentation, destroy() doesn't remove a widget's descendants.  So the error crops up because parts of the widget are never destroyed.  I changed the destroy() call to destroyRecursive(false) and it solved the problem.  Now, each time the 'Edit' button is activated, it creates a 'new' editor, so there's no more conflicts. From the Dojo documentation: This is the generic "destructor" function that all widget users should call to cleanly discard with a widget. Once a widget is destroyed, it is removed from the manager object.   source: http://dojotoolkit.org/api/1.7/dijit/_Widget/destroyRecursive Hope this helps Jake! ... View more

Sorry to revive an older thread, but I found the thread while debugging a similar activate editing button in my app.  I have a 'Done' button in the container with my editor that turns the editor off, and then a menu selection that turns editing on.  When the user clicks 'Done' I call 'editorWidget.destroy()' and remove the DOM nodes.  When the editor is reactivated I recreate the nodes. However, in my console, I get an error message - "Tried to register widget with id==editorDiv but that id is already registered".  I thought calling destroy() prevents that from happening?  The editor seems to work despite the error, but I don't want this error to display to users.  Any thoughts on this?  Thanks, Jim ...

The 'onEditsComplete' event returns 3 arrays as it's arguments addResults, updateResults, deleteResults http://developers.arcgis.com/en/javascript/jsapi/featurelayer.html#onEditsComplete dojo.connect(editorWidget, 'onEditsComplete', function(addResults, updateResults, deleteResults){      console.log('addResults: ', addResults);      console.log('updateResults: ', updateResults);      console.log('deleteResults: ', deleteResults); }); Similarly, you can capture the results before they are sent to the server, by listening for 'onBeforeApplyEdits' http://developers.arcgis.com/en/javascript/jsapi/featurelayer.html#onBeforeApplyEdits I think you can modify the edits, but cannot cancel them if something doesn't meet your criteria. Rene, that's precisely what I needed!  I connected to 'onBeforeApplyEdits' and got the data payload before sending to the server.  From there I found the XY I needed.              dojo.connect(featureLayer, "onBeforeApplyEdits", function(e){                 var newPointX = e[0].geometry.x, newPointY = e[0].geometry.y;                 //Go to town from here             }); Sincerely appreciate the help, thanks! ...

Hi Jim, You can do this using the "onEditsComplete" event along with the "onDrawEnd" event.  Here is an example: dojo.connect(operationsPointLayer, "onEditsComplete", function(){         var tb = new esri.toolbars.Draw(map);         tb.activate(esri.toolbars.Draw.POINT);         dojo.connect(tb, "onDrawEnd", function(geometry){             console.log("X: " + geometry.x + ", Y: " + geometry.y);             });         tb.deactivate();         } Thanks again for your help Jake... I tried 'onDrawEnd' the way you suggested, but no dice.  When I logged the 'onEditsComplete' event, I got a result, but not the one I expected: //Event object { declaredClass : "esri.layers.FeatureEditResult", objectId : "208281", success : "true" } Since I get the ObjectId from onEditsComplete, maybe I can search the map for that object and get the XY that way?  I'm not sure if there's a more efficient or better way to do it... Also, a question on the draw functions:  Doesn't picking a selection in the Editor widget turn on the draw toolbar just for that selection?  When I tested it, I had to select an editor to drop a point, and then select again to drop another point. Is there a way to look at the data from the edit pre-flight, like a 'beforeEdits' event?  My Google-Fu didn't find anything like that. Thanks again for taking a look! ... View more

James You can do this with the api you just need to handle many of the update events yourself. The feature layer has an applyEdits method that can be used to add, update and delete features. Here's code for a simple use case where we are editing a point feature layer with only one feature template. In this app just click the 'Add Note' button and you'll see a new note added to the map and the attribute inspector will appear. <snip> Kelly, This is also very helpful, I think this will come in handy!  Thank you both for your assistance!  Enjoy the weekend! ...

I marked the last answer as the solution because it looks like changing the CORS settings would get the code above working just fine.  Ultimately, we decided to not fight the API and will work with the Editor widget after all.  I already have the widget configured with our map services.  We'll use it to vary the types of points a user can add to the service. Thanks for your help! ... View more

I tried using the sample code above, as well as dojo.xhrPost and dojo.xhrGet.  I cannot get the feature layer to accept a point this way.  I get two errors - one says 405 (Method not allowed) and the other says my address "is not allowed by Access-Control-Allow-Origin".  Not sure why I'd get a CORS error with a POST, as I don't get this error when POSTing to other internal servers.  Any thoughts? ...

@Jake, Thanks for the idea and the code sample.  I'll give it a test after lunch and let you know how it works out. Just curious, any thoughts or ideas on why that functionality doesn't have an out-of-the-box solution in the API? Jim ... View more

jeff.pace what function are you using to print? This is more than likely due to the wonderful fact the IE does not support svg and therefore using a vml graphics renderer. I'm using good ol' CTRL+P, which is what my users would most likely do as well.  Any way to convert the graphics from SVG to VML? Thanks for taking a look, Jim EDIT:  Did some Googling, looks like VML is IE proprietary (of course).  Found some info on converting from SVG to VML with XSLT but I don't know if that can be done with the ESRI graphics?  I'm not all that familiar with XSLT... ...
