I am working on creating an online map using ESRI mapservices as a basemap and existing mapservices on our arcserver.. The problem I am running into is that the mapservices we have here are really slow to draw.. They do draw however.

I have no access the mapservices themselves to change them only to reference them. What might be causing this issue? Below is my unfinished code for the page...

I am working on this using the ESRI Javascript API... Any help is greatly appreciated.

My 1 cent: I don't use the "Pan" Button in the Navigation Toolbar. I rename the "Deactivate" to "Pan" because in most cases you will be in the standard map-navigation mode after navToolbar.deactivate(). Depends on the specific implementation but I guess in most cases, you are.

Otherwise the user doesn't understand the logic behind that "Deactivate" button. 😉


Axxl,

thanks for the suggestion.. I went ahead and took care of that.. although, it won't so until the webmaster updates the file.. probably later in the week...

Here is my two cents:


  • Don't load claro and tundra css files unless you absolutely need both

  • Since you are hosting your own services make sure you're using MSD (not mxd) based services

  • Don't display so much data on initial load, it's pretty busy and takes too long to load

  • Since you're using ESRI's basemap make sure your data is in the same projection or it will take forever to display since it has to be reprojected.

  • Clicking a link to turn a service on or off doesn't work well, use a check box or radio button


On a more positive note, it looks good, I like the layout you're using and you've done a great job for someone just starting out. Keep up the good work.

Glen,

Thanks for the suggestions.. I changed my links to checkboxes.. that seems like a much better idea.. now I am trying to figure out how to keep the layers from drawing unless I click on a checkbox.. the code I have configured is still drawing the layers before hand.. the checkboxes work great accept they work in reverse.. when checked the layer turns on.. etc..

Sorry, can't provide a link at this time as the webmaster has to load the files on the webserver..

I looked into using the MSD file type but we don't have 9.3.1 installed and I don't have ArcGis Server access, we are currently using 9.3.

here a section of the code.. Maybe you can see what I am missing?
