my understand is at dojo 1.8 both are supported but the latter (newer format) is preferred, and at dojo 2.0 the latter format will be required. So we can begin transitioning without breaking everything. ... View more

Ok that is bad.  Does anyone develop on a phone? No you develop on the desktop.  Why on earth would you style the API for mobile. Sorry, just disagree with the styling choice on this one. I am not sure this is primetime yet.  Anyone else getting dojo.io.script error Error: Unauthorized access on dijit/form/TextBox ... View more

In general this information has not been available with prior releases. It usually leads to people being upset if it is delayed.  You will likely just get a notification when it is out. ... View more

For me 3.3 is breaking my widgets.  Its a definition thing in dojo.config. I had my packages declared as {name: org.mymanatee.widgets, location: /org/mymanatee.widgets} which was fine with dojo 1.7 but dojo 1.8 isnt allowing subfolders in the name, so i just need to repath ... View more

Silverlight is not dead, but it is End of Life. As a developer, same thing to me. JS API works great in IE7 & 8, IE6 is another story. ... View more

I'm using a config.js file similar to many examples on the ESRI site. I've got a djConfig statement as follows:         djConfig = {             parseOnLoad: true,             isDebug: true,           packages: [           {             "name": "modules",             "location": location.pathname.replace(/\/[^/]+$/, "") + "/modules"          }          ]         }; In my modules.config, I'm setting various operational layers. However, when I modify the config to set different operational layers, it's as though the new settings/layers aren't showing up in my website. I've cleared my cache, etc etc, but still, the old settings/layers still show up. I've verified this with Fiddler. It works fine if I make the change and run it using Aptana Studio. Just doesnt refresh properly when running it on my Web Server. Is there a property in my module, or something in djConfig to be assured that my modules refresh on page load? Are you clearing the cache on the web server (not the browser, on the server itself) ... View more

Our County is still standardized on IE7. Javascript API != HTML5 However, it can leverage it. We use a single deployment of an enterprise application on Tomcat on an internal webserver.  That also runs java servlets and other applications. It connects directly to our SDE. That application is accessed internally, and through a Web Application Firewall (tomcat running modproxy) for external; public and secure access. The advantage of this architecture is we have a single app, single development environment, single webserver, etc.. (Downside is single point of failure, but redundancy/HA could be easily achieved if we had hardware funds).  Choosing the Javascript API allowed us to not have to worry about platforms/plugins, etc.. And it integrates into our existing JAVA/Tomcat architecture seamlessly. Plus, if we ever do go to IE9, all i have to do is change the DOCTYPE. I have in fact already done this using quirks mode in IE7 and it seems to be working great! Long story short is the Javascript API requires the least setup for the end user.  Open browser app works. No plugin download, no patches/security concerns, and free development tools for me.  Win Win ... View more

Fair enough. But in the common "one developer" shop, being able to develop a single platform that works for desktop, web, mobile, etc.. (no app stores, etc..) is a huge advantage. ... View more

Pros: No PLUGIN required! way of the web - Flash and Silverlight are dead great community robust API great performance Dojo over jQuery Mobile support (flash dead on mobiles) Cons: Steeper learning curve due lack of "drag and drop" apps Dojo over jQuery  (pro for me, con for many, but hey, just use both, they work great together) ...
