I have downloaded the Basic Viewer Template and used it as the basis for a custom app.  I have found that holding down the Shift key and drag a box on the map to zoom in does not work in IE.  It works if I'm using Firefox or Chrome.

Here's the link for my app:

Can anyone shed light on why it's not working in IE?

Thanks,
Joan

This issue only occurs in IE 10.  If you change the Browser Mode through the debugging tools to IE9 or earlier, drawing the zoom box while holding shift works correctly.

You can force IE10 into an earlier rendering engine using the X-UA-Compatible meta tag. (Firefox, Chrome, etc. will ignore this tag.)

  <title>My webpage</title>
</head>
<body>
  <p>Content goes here.</p>
</body>
</html>
[/HTML]

As for why the shift+zoom doesn't work in IE 10, I don't know.  Maybe one of Esri's developers can address this.

Jeff -- You rock!  That worked great and I never would have figured it out myself.  So thanks so much for the response.

Sorry to bump such an old thread, but I was a little bummed to find that this is still an issue in version 3.9 of the API. 

Hopefully it will be addressed in a future release.
