if I add the /0 at the place where I create and add my dynamic map service layer, my parcels layer does not load. This is because when you specify a dynamic layer, you omit the layer identifier from the URL, but when you specify a feature layer or query, you need to specify the layer. How do I go about making sure BOTH things happen on a click of the map? Search the file layout.js for the section: dojo.connect(map, "onClick", function(evt) {     identifyLocation(evt.mapPoint, operationalLayers); }); This is where the code specifies that the Identify should run when you click on the map. If you add your code here, it will also run when you click on the map. I get mixed up about what javascript I should add in the layout.js file and what should be added to index.html.  For example, do I initialize the event listener, query task, query filter, and symbol properties in the init function of index.html, or in the initMap function of layout.js? I'm not an expert on this, but my two cents is that either way will work, so there's no one "correct" answer. It's generally considered more robust to keep your application modular, so that (for example) the .HTML file contains the page elements (the map, scalebar, header, etc) the styling is stored in a separate .CSS file, and the logic is contained in .js files. As long as you reference the JS files from within the HTML file, it will work. Good luck, Steve ... View more

I think you were missing two crucial steps. 1. You need to specify which fields the query should return: query = new esri.tasks.Query(); query.returnGeometry = true; query.outFields = ["*"]; 2. The query needs to run against an individual layer (the last bit of the URL): queryTask = new esri.tasks.QueryTask("http://gis.chcity.org/CHwebMaps/rest/services/CityData/Parcels_SD/MapServer/0"); If I make these changes, the parcel is highlighted in yellow after clicking.

Sounds like just the shortcut I was looking for - thanks! For reference the Context Menu sample is here if anyone else needs it. ... View more

Sorry, I can't really help here. In FireFox on a PC, the features are deleting correctly. I don't have access to an iPad or Mac to test this in iOS. It might help to make a much simpler version of this application, which you can debug more easily. I'd create a version of this page with all the code in a single script then add a single layer and a simple add/delete function, then see if you can reproduce the problem. That might help to pinpoint exactly where the problem is occurring - if you submit something as complex as this applicatoin to tech support, it'll be harder for them to debug. Good luck, Steve ...

Hi Ed, Good suggestion - but I'm looking for something a lot simpler, like the polygon in the Overview map, where you can just pick it up and move it. I don't want to create a feature layer, start an edit session, etc. I've got a workaround using the method above - I'm just wondering whether there's a more efficient way to do it. Cheers, Steve ...

Can you pinpoint the relevant sections in the code? It's a fairly complicated application so it would help to narrow down the issue. Which functions in the application should we choose to reproduce the problem? I noticed in the script at http://arcgisserver.northwind-inc.com/itd-mobile/library/code/global.js that you've defined: permits = new esri.layers.FeatureLayer("http://arcgisserver.northwind-inc.com/ArcGIS/rest/services/itd-mobile/FeatureServer/1", {   mode : esri.layers.FeatureLayer.MODE_ONDEMAND,   disableClientCaching : true,   visible : false,   outFields : ["*"]    }); As far as I know, disableClientCaching doesn't apply to a feature layer, but to a Dynamic layer. Not sure if that's related to the issue you're seeing. Cheers,Steve ... View more

Patrick, I'm not an expert on jQuery, but I think you might want to put the jQuery code outside of the infoWindow, and in the main JS section of your page: <script type="text/javascript"> $(document).ready(function(){ $(".flip").click(function(){          $(".panel").slideToggle("slow");         }); }) ...

There's no single correct answer, but if you were to use the JavaScript API you won't need any plugins (like Flash or Silverlight) so your application has a better chance of working on mobile browsers. Since you don't mention Android or iOS specifically, you could start by reading about the Compact Build of the JS API. If you were targeting Android or iOS you could look at the dedicated APIs for those operating systems. Good luck, Steve ... View more
