Javascript 4.4 api on webSever IIS

I have followed the steps on how to install and test your API on windows see instructions below

Install the Build

Open C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\arcgis_js_api\library\4.4\dojo\dojo.js in a text editor and search for the text [HOSTNAME_AND_PATH_TO_JSAPI], and replace this text with https://www.example.com/arcgis_js_api/library/4.4/.

Test the Install

Now you should be able to access the ArcGIS JavaScript library from your web server using the following URL:

<script src="https://www.example.com/arcgis_js_api/library/4.4/dojo/dojo.js"></script>

Test your install. You can use the following test code to validate your JSAPI library install.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

This is my local drive where I have installed it;
C:\inetpub\wwwroot\arcgis_js_v44_api . Also made the necessary changes to dojo.js as advised.
The next stage was to use a test.html to see if it works.
Where I ‘m a bit confused now  how do I point the URL to my test.html to be able to view in internet explorer.
I have open the test.html using C:\inetpub\wwwroot\arcgis_js_v44_api\test.html, and isn’t right.

Henry,

You have IIS installed so use your web server instead of trying to use physical paths.

i.e. http://localhost/arcgis_js_v44_api/test.html

Hi Robert Scheitlin,

so should I use this url; http://localhost/arcgis_js_v44_api/test.html?

Thanks for your help!

Hi Robert Scheitlin,

Did try it but not working, don't know what I' m doing wrong;

with the dojo.js, this is how I have made the changes as advised

baseUrl:"https://www.example.com/arcgis_js_api/library/4.4/dojo"

should I change the test.html to example.html?

could this be the issue?

Thanks for your help!

Henry,

www.example.com is just an example url not the actual url you should be using. You should use your machine name or localhost. So for example on my machine the base Url would be: "http://gislap183/arcgis_js_api/4.4/dojo"

Henry,

What is RETURN.html?... Isn't that suppose to be test.html? Also have you enabled your IIS for https? If not then switch to http.

I have made the changes to http, it works using google chrome and edge, firfox. but can't get it to work using IE(internet explorer.) this has always been the issue, I was hoping to get to resolve the IE issue, not able to view Mapview in IE except from google chrome,

Any help please thank you

Henry,

Is IE running in compatiblity mode?

Re: Javascript 4.4 api on webSever IIS

Henryobaseki — Tue, 22 Aug 2017 12:32:08 GMT

I would think so, How do I find that out?

Re: Javascript 4.4 api on webSever IIS

Henry,

You do Not want compatibility mode:

Open IE's settings; this is usually a gear icon on the top right
Select 'Compatibility view settings'
Deselect 'Display intranet sites in Compatibility View'

Another way to ensure that your app does not run in compatibility mode is to use a meta tag:

<html>
   <head>
      <meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=edge" />‍‍‍

Thanks Robert Scheitlin you have answered my question. Please take a look at my question

use popup template in searchwidget geocoder the code is a geocoding service, you click anywhere in a map it displays addresses + xy coordinates, what I want to get to is to get the xy coordinates to be displayed as a table just like my other code you helpled with.

Thank you!
