But how to I pass that string to this variable? var operationalLayer = new esri.layers.ArcGISDynamicMapServiceLayer("string_goes_here"); Hi Don, Sorry, I misunderstood your question. What is the value of rest_url after you've sent it through your function? The syntax for specifying the URL parameter is shown here. The URL should be something like http://server/ArcGIS/rest/services/layername - see the Services Directory help file entry. Cheers, Steve ... View more

I can't test this (and I'm not an expert on regexp), but I think you might want to do something along these lines: var fullUrl = window.location.href; //get the full URL var layerUrl = gup(fullUrl); // send this to the function console.log(layerUrl);// this should be just the layer definition section function gup( name ) {   name = name.replace(/[\[]/,"\\\[").replace(/[\]]/,"\\\]");   var regexS = "[\\?&]"+name+"=([^&#]*)";   var regex = new RegExp( regexS );   var results = regex.exec(name);   if( results == null )     return "";   else     return results[1]; //return just the Layer definition of the URL } Good luck, Steve ...

Hi Heming, This looks like a good approach - I'll let you know how it goes. Thanks, Steve ... View more

function changeMap(layer) {         //hideImageTiledLayers(layer); There's a comment before the hideImage function, so it doesn't actually run - could that be it? ... View more

I'm also experiencing a similar issue with an 'onclick' event not working correctly until the map has been moved Just to add that I've seen something like this too. In my case I'm running an IdentifyTask when the user clicks on the map. It works most of the time, but occasionally the click doesn't cause the task to run. I'll let you know if I can find the steps to reproduce it reliably. ... View more

Hi Derek, Background to this question - I'm trying to keep the UI really simple,  so the user doesn't have to worry about typing in a query. A 2-handled  dojo slider bar works really well for selecting features between a  range, aside from the asynchronous query issue. Filtering on a feature layer may be an option here. I could also use a Submit button which runs the query, rather than running it onChange. Any other suggestions would be very welcome. Cheers, Steve ... View more

query.where ="Upper(STATE_NAME) like '%" + stateName.toUpperCase() +"'%"; That works - thanks again. ... View more

it's a bug with the basemap gallery and bing layers Hooray, an actual bug rather than doing something wrong! No probs, I'll use the workaround for now. Thanks guys. ... View more

AGS tries to protect you from regularly overwhelming services by setting the default max number of results to 1000 I guess I'm concerned about the possibility of someone trying SQL injection or similar, to try to overwhelm the server by running multiple large requests. Is preventing that beyond the scope of the JS API, and more in the realms of web security software? Have you changed this setting? No, but I'd be interested in knowing how to do so. In my case, more than about 20 results would be meaningless, so it would be great if I could have the server time-out as soon as this limit was reached. Thanks, Steve ... View more

     <table data-dojo-type="dojox.grid.DataGrid" data-dojo-id="grid"  id="grid" data-dojo-props="rowsPerPage:'5', rowSelector:'20px'">       <thead>         <tr>           <th field="PARCELID">Parcel ID</th>           <th field="OWNERNME1" >Owner 1</th>           <th field="OWNERNME2">Owner 2</th>           <th field="RESYRBLT ">Year Built</th>           <th field="SITEADDRESS" width="100%">Address</th>         </tr>       </thead>     </table> This is great - thanks for posting it. A comment on the samples in general is that they mostly contain hard-coded elements such as the table above. It would be great if you could post some examples which are more generic, so they can be used more easily. For example, rather than hard-coding the field names and aliases, build the table on-the-fly. Or perhaps post a sample "template" for a best-practices application. Cheers, Steve ... View more
