Map.graphics.add() not showing points on the map

[IrfanClemson]

Hi,
I have inherited an ArcGIS JavaScript API project. I am very new to this API in particular and ArcGIS in general. Currently, one part of the code is very problematic--populating the map with some query task's results. Here is a code snippet. In the debugger I can see the returned results, including geometry of individual result rows. But they never show up on the map.

  function showResults(results) {//This bounds the results into the data grid from doFind() function      var symbol = new esri.symbol.SimpleFillSymbol(esri.symbol.SimpleFillSymbol.STYLE_SOLID, new esri.symbol.SimpleLineSymbol(esri.symbol.SimpleLineSymbol.STYLE_SOLID, new dojo.Color([98,194,204]), 200), new dojo.Color([98,194,204,0.5]));       for(var i=0; i < results.features.length; i++){        //map.graphics.add(results.features);     var graphic = results.features;     graphic.setSymbol(symbol);     map.graphics.add(graphic);      }              }    

What could be happening? I don't think posting thousands of line of code will help. But the debugger does show information for each row, such as:
map.graphics.graphics.geometry[0]->
- _shape=null
- type=point
- x= 283265
- y= 3955658
- symbol [object data]

and when I go to:
http://myserver/arcgis/rest/services/NPS_Location_Search/MapServer/0
then, under Drawing Info, I can see the colored dot object for Symbol.

I can give more info about how the various maps are laid out if that helps?

Thanks!

what type of geometry are you returning?

Your Subject says "points" but your code is using a fill symbol, which is polygon

In the debug I see the geometry as type of Point.

So I guess I should change the following line?

Thanks!

var symbol = new esri.symbol.SimpleFillSymbol(esri.symbol.SimpleFillSymbol.STYLE_SOLID, new esri.symbol.SimpleLineSymbol(esri.symbol.SimpleLineSymbol.STYLE_SOLID, new dojo.Color([98,194,204]), 4), new dojo.Color([98,194,204,0.5]));

Progress! If I change the symbol to:
var symbol = new esri.symbol.SimpleMarkerSymbol().setStyle(esri.symbol.SimpleMarkerSymbol.STYLE_SOLID);

then they do show up on the map--although just about half way across the world with seemingly the same latitude and now zooming out doesn NOT show the '_3be' error I mention above...

symbols are now showing up on their proper location on the map. I had to put in this line of code again (thanks @Odoe!):
query.outSpatialReference = map.spatialReference;

Thank you all very much! I think next I will need to work out zoom map location from a result grid--but that is a different topic.

sp it looks like two issues, spatial reference and symbology.

IF they draw the query is good and symbology fixed

Now you just need to specify the correct outSpatialReference in the query parameters, as mentioned above

great! if you could mark either odoe's or my post as the answer (since we each got half, doesnt matter whom) that would be appreciated (just click the check mark on the right).

Marked--it was really 50/50 solution between the two of you (Jeff.pace and @Odoe). Without specifying the correct symbol the map wouldn't show the symbol and without inputting the correct spatial info the symbols would show but--in Africa--which I would have missed.

Thank you both again!
