Thanks for the heads up and the simple repro case. We'll take a look and let you know the best way to work around this. ... View more

This happens when your features don't have object IDs. Make sure each feature has a unique ID with a field name that matches what's specified in the layerDefinition. In your case, this would be ObjectID. ... View more

Thanks Jeff. And thanks for being part of this community. ... View more

Glad that adding a ref to esri.css fixed the issue. We'd like to be more open about our target dates for upcoming releases but the issue is that we occasionally miss our internal target (I know, hard to believe that a software development timeline has slipped...). The closer we get to a release, the more accurate our estimates are so maybe it's reasonable to send out a heads up when we're getting close (one to two weeks away). In the end, we want to keep expectations reasonable. If we start saying "3.3 is 10 days away!", we don't want to anger/let down people when it takes us 12 days. We'll see what we can do going forward. Regarding the 2.x to 3.x upgrade, you're right�?? that was a big one due to big changes on the Dojo side. Upgrades tend to be more invovled when we move to a newer Dojo version. When we're only updating/adding to modules/classes we provide, the upgrades should be straight forward. ... View more

http://i50.tinypic.com/14csf7s.png this is the problem i was refering to, now it's not opaque at all. And i know i had a polygon and i made it opaque once. Now i'm really confused Should the yellow squares be semi-transparent? How do the symbols used to generate that print output differ from what you posted previously in this thread? ... View more

How would we handle this in the case of a custom module which internally references the esri namespace? I didn't see this when it was initially posted... The way to handle this is to not include Dojo modules via a script tage and instead use dojoConfig to tell the loader where to find the module. The point clustering sample shows how to use dojoConfig.packages to point to the location of a custom module. ... View more

Getting access to dojo/request would be pretty nice. It looks like a slick module to wrap all the xhr goodies. Notice I said 'nice', not critical. That's on our list but there won't be a lot of changes if you're already using esri.request, as we recommend ;). The one change/improvement that comes to mind for dojo/request is access to progress of a request while it's happening. ... View more

I see...me and my big mouth ;). Even though we don't modify releases once we announce them, we release often enough that significant bugs are addressed quickly. 3.2 will be our fifth release of 2012 (and we plan to do one more before the end of the year). We've made the decision that we would rather put out more official releases rather than running a beta program. This approach is more efficient as it allows us to concentrate on improving the API instead of managing additional API versions and an additional beta community. We already see quite a few issues come up again and again here... imagine if we put up yet another forum. Anyway, did adding that CSS file fix your tiled layer? ... View more

More context for Zuckerberg's quote: When I�??m introspective about the last few years I think the biggest mistake that we made, as a company, is betting too much on HTML5 as opposed to native�?� because it just wasn�??t there. And it�??s not that HTML5 is bad. I�??m actually, on long-term, really excited about it. One of the things that�??s interesting is we actually have more people on a daily basis using mobile Web Facebook than we have using our iOS or Android apps combined. So mobile Web is a big thing for us. http://blog.tobie.me/post/31366970040/when-im-introspective-about-the-last-few-years-i ... View more

Sorry, wasn't sure where else to post this.  Is there a beta forum somewhere? I am seeing massive issues with 3.2, particularily with tiled services (both local and ago) and dynamic (WMS seems to work ok).  The tiles (including dynamic services) are completely scrambled, yet correct within the tile . Screen shot shows green lines (local tiled service), red lines (local dynamic service) and AGO street map in background. Jeff�?? where did you get the idea that 3.2 is out? We're close, but not ready to announce it. One of the big changes we made was to change how CSS is handled in the API. I won't go into detail here (there will be plenty of info when we officially announce 3.2) but add this to your app: <link rel="stylesheet" href="http://serverapi.arcgisonline.com/jsapi/arcgis/3.2/js/esri/css/esri.css"> ...

I saw this as well... not quite sure why you posted here, but I'm guessing the intent is to start a discussion relating to the viability of HTML5 as an application platform? I think Zuck's proclamation will make plenty of headlines over the next few days but will be largely forgotten in a couple of months. Once the smoke clears, HTML5 will still be a great way to build exciting, useful apps. And I will continue to urge people to choose web apps over native for several reasons. Not only is development, testing and deployment easier and faster, there are tons of stats out there that drive home why you should choose web over native. I don't have links handy, but one that has stuck with me is that the average person uses roughly six apps per week while they visit over 20 sites per day. Which category would you be more confident in? Is your app good enough to be one of six used per week by a user? Or is it more realistic to break into one of the more than 20 used per day? We should also remember that what's best for Facebook isn't necessarily best for us. Hopefully whatever you're building isn't as complex as Facebook. When you're building a targeted application, HTML5 is still plenty capable. I can't help but feel this is an "HTML5 is dead! Long live HTML5!" moment. ... View more

Try using an esri.layers.MapImage. This has been discussed previously:  http://forums.arcgis.com/threads/64676-Adding-a-geo-referenced-tiff-to-a-map ... View more
