Zooming with mouse wheel/double-click forces pan

Hi everyone,

I have a map that I'm initializing off-screen and sliding in using jQuery. For some reason zooming in with the scroll wheel or by double-clicking causes the map to simultaneously pan down (or pan up when zooming out). Using the slider controls works fine. Also if I disable the animation and create it on-screen it zooms normally. I'm guessing it has something to do with the relative position of the map to where it was created, but I don't imagine I have much control over that. Does anyone have any thoughts on this?

Here's how I'm styling the map:

#map {
 bottom: -450px;
 height: 450px;
 position: fixed;
 width: 100%;
}

And this is my animation function:

toggleMap: function() {
 // New bottom value
 var newBottom;

 if (isShowing) {
  newBottom = -MAP_HEIGHT;
 }
 else {
  newBottom = 0;
 }

 // Set this here in case they reverse the animation before it finishes
 isShowing = !isShowing;

 // Change link text
 $('#gis-link').text(!isShowing ? 'show' : 'hide');

 // Animate
 $map.animate({
  bottom: newBottom
 });
},

Thanks!

Does this occur on all browsers and client devices or just particular configurations?

I would need to see more of the code in order to help you out, such as the resize map functions you might be using.

Hi Dev,

I'm developing in Chrome 29.0.1547.66 but it happens in Firefox 24.0 as well. I'm not explicitly calling any resize functions -- in fact the only code I have so far is creating the map and adding some layers.

This is how I create the map:

require(['esri/map'], function(Map) {
 // Create and add map div
 $('<div/>', {id: 'map'}).appendTo('#bounds');

 // Reference map div
 $map = $('#map');

 // Create map
 map = new Map('map', {
  logo: false,
 });

 // Add tiled layers
 addLayers();
});

The code to add the layers is rather long but I'm basically just forming URLs, creating layer objects, and passing them to map.AddLayer(). There are 3 tiled layers and 1 dynamic. They all work fine as long as the map is in a fixed on-screen position.

Thanks again.

Derek of the JS team was kind enough to point me in the right direction:

map.reposition();

Boom! No more pan.
