KeyboardEvent.keyIdentifier' is deprecated and will be removed

DanielStoelb — Thu, 06 Oct 2016 16:38:25 GMT

I'm working on writing an app using the 3.18 version API and there appears to be a notification for Chrome (and a resulting no-show on IE 11) for the portion relating to the dijit text box. Here is the specific notification I'm getting:

From what I can tell, this is pertaining to the JS file from the API. Is there something else I should be using for the text entry in the text box. As a reference, here is the code I'm referring to:

on(dijit.byId("stringTextBox"), 'change', function(value){
var userVal = dijit.byId("stringTextBox").get('value');

Should be ok - here's the dojo issue regarding this one. https://bugs.dojotoolkit.org/ticket/18893

You mentioned something about a no-show in IE? Can you provide more details?

The data from the feature service wasn't showing in IE. I did some digging and found out that my browser was forcing compatibility view based upon group policy (forcing IE 7). After switching to the more recent versions of IE emulation (8 and above), it appears to be displaying.

Thanks for the reference in the dojotoolkit. I thought I would pass it along in case someone else had a similar warning.
