Oddly enough, I just saw this thread right now and found I am having the same error with something I am working on right now, but a different scenario, so I made a new thread.This only happens in IE8, which is what I need to support in my office. It works fine in Chrome and FF, so I'm not sure what the problem is.I am using esri.request to submit parameters to a non-arcgis web service. However, in IE8 it is appending the parameters the application pages URL and refreshing the page when I send the request.I am using a dijit/form to collect and submit data on a (non-submit) dijit.form.button. I can tell it's not the form submitting because I can see my console debugs before the request happens.Here is the onClick event handler for my form.
_onFlowTraceClick: function(e) {
e.preventDefault();
e.stopPropagation();
var form = registry.byId('flowTraceForm');
var data = form.getValues();
console.log('values?', data);
var _this = this;
var url = '/csdapi/api/flow/trace';
var params = {
id: data.name,
direction: data.direction,
districts: data.nodetype === 'districts'
};
var len = data.status.length; // an array of checkboxes
while(len--) {
params[data.status[len]] = true;
}
console.log('params for trace', params); // I see all debug consoles up to here
var request = esri.request({
url: url,
content: params
});
request.then(function(response, io) {
console.log('got a response!', response, io);
response.bubble = true;
response.cancelable = true;
_this.emit('flowTraceResults', response);
});
}
When it reaches the esri.request() line it appends the parameters to the pages URL, so my app can be http://testgis/demoand it turns into http://testgis/demo?id=999&nodetype=local&direction=up and my page refreshes. It's just weird.*edit, it looks like it might be the form.getValues() causing an issue, because the params it adds to my URL match the form and not the custom params I make.I do have a proxy.ashx set up with mustMatch=false for dev purposes and I can see it working in Chrome and FF. Has anyone else seen this happen before?
