Question about adding WMS layer to a webpage...

JeremySears · ‎01-25-2013

Hello,
Im having issues adding a wms to a webpage.

I have followed the tutorial here.

I can get this working in my browser.

My issue happens when I attempt to add a different wms. I am attempting to add this service:

http://geoviewer.inac.gc.ca/gisprd3/services/THM_ABORIGINAL_E/MapServer/WMSServer

The issue is that I can not see any data or layers when I use this wms.

I believe that this wms has a few layers in it and the wms used in the tutorial posted above uses a simple service. I think I need to specify what layers Id like to pull out to display on the webpage.

Im hoping someone could point me to a tutorial or documentation on how to use javascript to specify the layers I want to display. Or perhaps suggest a way for me to use the WMS in my webpage.

Here is the code I am currently using. I get a blank map window in the page when rendered by my browser.

    <script type="text/javascript">
      dojo.require("esri.map");

      function init() {
        var myMap = new esri.Map("mapDiv");
// original code, this works fine

      // var myTiledMapServiceLayer = new esri.layers.ArcGISTiledMapServiceLayer("http://server.arcgisonline.com/ArcGIS/rest/services/ESRI_StreetMap_World_2D/MapServer");
      // myMap.addLayer(myTiledMapServiceLayer);

// Ive swapped the url of the example WMS with the url of our WMS, but all that is drawn in my browser is an empty map window.
// need to specify what layer(s) I want to pull from this service?

        var OurData = new esri.layers.ArcGISTiledMapServiceLayer("http://swihqokgis64b/GISPRD3/services/THM_ABORIGINAL_E/MapServer/WMSServer");
        myMap.addLayer(OurData);

      }

      dojo.addOnLoad(init);
    </script>

    <div id="mapDiv" class="tundra" style="width:900px; height:600px; border:1px solid #000;"></div>

<li>Add an ArcGISTiledMapServiceLayer.</li>

Thanks!
