Live samples throw error in IE

ChristopherBennett — Mon, 30 Aug 2010 19:43:33 GMT

Has anyone noticed that the live dojo-based JS API samples throw an error from IE? For example:
http://resources.esri.com/help/9.3/arcgisserver/apis/javascript/arcgis/demos/layout/layout_FullMapLayout.html

With IE < 7, the browser (my test copy at least) reports error popups and doesn't render the page at all.

With IE 7, the page renders and looks correct but any attempt to resize shows an error symbol in the status bar.

Any ideas why?

The non-dojo-base samples don't exhibit this behavior. For example:
http://resources.esri.com/help/9.3/arcgisserver/apis/javascript/arcgis/demos/map/map_dynamic.html

Firefox works fine of course.

-Chris.

I think you are running into the bug described in the following discussion forum thread:
http://forums.esri.com/Thread.asp?c=158&f=2396&t=301691&mc=5

The thread has a patch you can apply if you are using 1.6. The bug is fixed in version 2.0 and the 2.0 samples are located here:
