What version of Dojo is used in ESRI 3.2? I guess its 1.7.3.. Yes, 3.2 uses Dojo 1.7.3. Rather than loading your separate copy of 1.7.1, can you use the 1.7.3 that's bundled with our API? ... View more

Just in case anyone visits this thread in the future, please note that the WebTileLayer is now part of the Core API. Everything on this page can be ignored as now irrelevant. All current information can now be found at: http://help.arcgis.com/en/webapi/javascript/arcgis/help/jssamples_start.htm#jssamples/layers_webtiled_one.html Thanks for following up. One small thing to note is that we originally published a sample that defined "WebTileLayer". When we put it in the API, we went with "WebTiledLayer". ... View more

I would double-check that you've included a <link> tag to bring in esri.css and make sure it's being loaded via your browser's dev tools. That seems to be the most likely explanation for the issue you're seeing. I put together a version of their "nested" sample and it works. It's attached as a .zip file. Edit:  You also said "WMS" but the screen shot looks like it's showing the standard ArcGIS Online Streets basemap. Did you mean tiled service? I used the streets tiled service in my example. ...

We'll look forward to it in 3.4 (please) with hopes of squeezing it in for 3.3 (double please). Can't promise anything, but we'll be talking about it. Definitely not for 3.3. ... View more

That's what I get for posting without testing...my bad. What is your map's spatial reference? You can confirm that centerAt works by going to this sample:  http://help.arcgis.com/en/webapi/javascript/arcgis/samples/map_topo/index.html Then entering this in the console:  var coordinates = prompt("Enter coordinates: ", "-13600000,4545000").split(","); Press OK. Then enter this to center the map: map.centerAt(new esri.geometry.Point(coordinates[0], coordinates[1], map.spatialReference)); Or... map.centerAt(new esri.geometry.Point({ "x": coordinates[0], "y": coordinates[1], "spatialReference": map.spatialReference})); ...

I humbly disagree with swingley's comment above . . . Noted. Don't expect this in the next release (3.3) but we might be able to do something after that. Bing Maps, Google Maps, Google Earth, and other very successful map apps use kinetic/glide panning on moused setups as well as mobile/touch devices. Google Earth and Maps, and to some degree Bing, are quite successful at being platforms people use for maps but having kinetic panning is only one (and probably a minor one at that) of the many reasons for their success. Kinetic panning, when done correctly, IMO, is a subtle enhancement to an app's user experience. If it's too prominent, it tends to detract from the user experience (again, my opinion). Ideally, it "just feels right" and isn't directly noticed by users. Developers are a different story as that is a pretty picky audience :). ... View more

The team has (briefly) discussed adding this in the past but we haven't made it a priority. If it is added, you will be able to turn it off. One thing that came up is that this is more of a requirement on touch devices. If you're still using a mouse, it's probably not the ideal experience. Anyone care to agree or disagree? ... View more

The x and y properties of the object passed to the point constructor need to be numbers. Try converting to numbers with parseInt: var point = new esri.geometry.Point({ "x": parseInt(coordinates[0]), "y": parseInt(coordinates[1]), " spatialReference": { " wkid": 27700} }); ... View more

Is there any way to assign where the anchor is located, as ANCHOR_LOWERLEFT can with InfoWindow? No, there isn't a way to do this. The popup will do its best position itself within the map (and this works, as long as the popup isn't bigger than the map container). If you always used ANCHOR_LOWERLEFT, there's a good chance you could be opening the popup but it wouldn't be 100% visible, which would then require to pan to see all of it. If I'm missing something, can you post some screen shots that show what's happening now and perhaps mock-up what you'd like to be happening? ... View more
