ArcGIS map service layer not loading properly at full extent

BenjaminBauman — Tue, 25 Feb 2014 12:25:16 GMT

My initial problem was an issue with the layer not loading at all when the page was set to the full extent, despite having changed the Min/Max Scale settings generously when publishing the map service. I corrected this by rectifying the Scale settings in JavaScript:

landBaseLayer.on("load", function() { landBaseLayer.minScale = 0; landBaseLayer.maxScale = 0; });

I now have a problem with the layer not loading when entering the page. It loads when I zoom in, and the loaded subset will remain visible when I zoom back out, but everything around it will remain blank. What am I doing wrong? Sorry, I'm totally new to this. I'm using a cached map service, with a Max Record Count of 10,000 (the layer contains just over 7,000 points). The following is the entire code.
