hope you find the error in lining them up.  Thats the easy answer 😉 ... View more

looking at this a little more, this is definitely a dojo/css issue I have the 3.2 api hosted locally. If you want you can try pointing your app to it to make sure something didnt change on ESRI's end www.mymanatee.org/arcgis_js_api/library/3.2/arcgis/?v=3.2 ... View more

Yes, rapid development cycle is not always so friendly on the developer. Can you test it in an older browser to confirm? I tried the link and it isnt working for me at all (chrome) ... View more

That link is still valid. If the code didn't change, the browser must have. ... View more

i would check a couple things in firebug/fiddler, is the request actually using the proxy? also i do something to append my token on some services (ones in a particular folder) if (url.indexOf("utilities-infrastructure")>-1||url.indexOf("utilitiesinfrastructure")>-1) {                                     function myCallbackFunction(ioArgs) {                                         ioArgs.content = ioArgs.content || {};                                         if (esri.id) {                                             if (esri.id.credentials[0]) {                                                 if (esri.id.credentials[0].token) {                                                     ioArgs.content.token = esri.id.credentials[0].token;                                                 }                                             }                                         }                                         return ioArgs;                                     }                                     esri.setRequestPreCallback(myCallbackFunction);                                 } ...

If you need to preserve both scale and extent you will need to be able to manipulate the map size itself.  I dont believe you can do that with the current printwidget. With that extreme a constraint (production grade print control) you will likely have to write your own print engine. ... View more

the order does not matter, it all loads asynchronously.  As above what matters is the order relative to the order in the declare.  It has to match perfectly, otherwise you are aliasing the wrong library. A word of caution, these forums are very casual.  They are not official support.  If you need an answer "right away", your only option is to call support. ... View more

I totally agree and understand. I will happily give you the code, but here are my concerns 1. It is not AMD style.  The original viewer was released at 1.6 and has never been updated.  I have been patching it along, badly.  It functions at 3.4 but I have not tested it past that.  Taking it to AMD style would be a ridiculous amount of work, which is why we deprecated it 2. I have alot of stuff hardcoded into to make it work.  Back in the 1.6 days alot of functionality (like legends, etc..) didnt exist.  We wrote a lot of code to custom include that, and dropped it but didnt always clean up the code afterwards 3. It doesnt work on mobile devices 4. It doesnt work AT ALL on touch devices.  In fact, its a disaster, hence deprecating. 5. There is alot of code in there to make it work on IE6 (which we finally dropped support for last year) 6. Its slow as dirt Your call.  Our new viewer is way better, and I am excited to see what ESRI comes up with (would be nice to be in a supported environment, so to speak) ... View more

Bobby, I got your email, but figured I would reply here. I would recommend waiting for ESRI's supported viewer this summer.  We are already abandoning that viewer and are moving to a "tablet" first one. Some musings: ESRI aggressively is pitching the "one use, one app" philosophy, as seen in the samples.  Need directions, write an app that does directions.  Need parcel info? Write a parcel viewer.  Good for simple users.  Terrible for both developers and for advanced users.  The problem is there are WAY more simple users So the whole "modular viewer template" that you can add dozens of widgets to, a desktop replacement as it were, is going away.  At least, its almost actively discouraged. A few (myself included) of the more veteran javascript developers disagree, any there are many threads discussing it.  Its a philosophy difference that I think will be aggravated by the influx of former flex developers that are used to dropping widgets onto an application to add functionality. I'm not sure what the answer is, but I know for my user base, they want one app that can do everything.  They don't, ever, want to "do this here, then go here to do that, then over there to do this".  Our old viewer did this pretty well, but it was heavy weight and not very mobile-friendly.  Our new one (very in development stage) is mobile first, but desktop replacement as the end goal. www.mymanatee.org/gisapps/mobile/mobile/index.html We will consider ESRI's app when we see it this summer, and see how much we can migrate.  But so far so good in this one.  Also I apologize if anyone has emailed or PM'd and I didn't reply.  I prefer to keep dialog to the forums where it is to the benefit of everyone. -Jeff ...

We have seen this on brand new machines with IE8.  Its not a hardware/software issue, its a browser issue ... View more

a little more research makes me think that IE is interpreting fast clicking as a long click http://forums.arcgis.com/threads/92878-stuck-in-pan-mode-after-long-pressing-the-map so there might be a solution for disabling navigation ... View more

the map sticking to the cursor in IE has been an issue for a long time.  It is limited to IE, but it is not limited to clicking http://forums.arcgis.com/threads/7610-mouse-cursor-stuck-with-the-map Unfortunately there is no known workaround/solutions that I am aware of. ... View more

can you describe how clicking is cumbersome? and how it is different in ie8 than other browsers? ... View more

You could write a servlet to receive a json object from the graphic and write it to the database. However the easiest way would be to use a FeatureLayer with an editing service and write the "markup" directly to SDE. ... View more

Ahh, this only works on tiled maps Unfortunately there is no min/max extent yet. So your only option is to write an on(extent-change) event that checks the extent, sees if it is beyond where you want to be, and reverts. sorry for the confusion. ... View more
