dojo.connect event object not working in IE7

BrianGoad

We have an application required to run on IE7 and we've encountered a problem with an event object passed into a function during a dojo.connect "onclick". evt.graphic.symbol.type is coming in as "not defined" in IE7, but works in Firefox. The code:

dojo.connect(this.map,"onClick", function(evt) {

if(evt.graphic.symbol.type == "textsymbol")
{
   // do something
}
else
{
   // do something else
}
});

Should this work in IE7?

My guess is this is due to the fact that IE uses canvas and everything else uses SVG.

if you alert evt.graphic.symbol i bet you get different results in IE and others.  YOu will have to do a dojo.isIE<9 and trap for canvas element or check dojox.gfx.renderer==="vml" and then do your event.
