displaying map in a modal/popup window

AbuDawud — Fri, 04 Feb 2011 07:48:30 GMT

I am trying to display a map in a modal panel/child window which I am able to do however when I click on the map it does not give me the correct coordinates back. The coordinates are always a little bit out. I am bringing back the address of where I clicked and can see the road name to be incorrect.

Are the maps not supposed to be displayed in a modal panel or is there something else i need to do to get the map to recognise the onclick event correctly. I noticed that in all the samples the map is displayed on a different page and does not open a popup.

Thanks in advance

EDIT::

I have tried the map outside of a popup too i.e navigated to the page on a button click and still the x and y axis seem to be slightly out probably about 10px but I am not sure.

Has anyone else seen this kind of behaviour or have any idea why the map click would be slightly out

Thanks again

Thanks for the response and the link

I have implemented my map using the dojo dialog window however I still seem to have the same problem in that the graphic on the map is not pointing to the same address that the locator function returns. i.e locator.locationToAddress(evt.mapPoint, 10);

Any ideas??

Can you post your .css file for the app?
