That's a strange situation to be in. What are their reasons for not at least updating IE? Its actually very very common.  If you are in corporate/government, this is the most common case.  IE7 only. Reasons: 1. Upgrading breaks vendor applications that no money was allocated for to keep upgraded, or that the vendor is no longer in business and we do not have the source code 2. Anything EXCEPT IE is viewed as a security risk, usually, because of addons 3. Support.  Client Services/Help Desk can barely support 1 browser due to having all their resources stripped.  4. Altiris/etc.. type centralized management.  Many of these are difficult to configure for nth browsers. Note, i don't agree with any of these reasons, just saying they exist as justification.  We just got off IE6 less than a year ago for reason #1 above, and the only reason we have Firefox 3 is due to a vendor app that works better in it.  Installing Chrome/Safari/Opera etc.. is a violation of IT policy and will be removed, and is, if reoccurring, a fire-able offense (thankfully developers are excluded). Oh and we are still on XP 32bit as well, see reason #1 and #3 above. ... View more

I have an older website that runs API 1.5: http://maps.co.scott.mn.us/IncidentViewer2/ I have a new website that runs API 2.6: http://maps.co.scott.mn.us/IncidentViewer/ EXACT same code other than the API references. The 1.5 site zooms to the correct start extent. The 2.6 site does not. BUT, when I hit the Zoom to Full Extent button on the 2.6 site, it zooms to the correct extent. Any Ideas??? I loaded both in Chrome , and they start at the same extent. ... View more

Thanks so much. I have a another issue with the Javascript Basic Viewer template.  I deploy the template to my local IIS, but the print won't work.  I believe it's using a server function on ArcGIS.com, but my map services not open to the internet.  How do I host that print service on my local server? You cannot.  For now.  The print service has not been released for local hosting. If you want to use it, it must be public. ... View more

Hello all, I'm trying to create an embedded map using Javascript from my contents on ArcGIS Online. I'm a complete beginner in Javascript. The tutorials online give me some idea of the basic structure of Javascript and dijits, but I still don't know how to reference MY custom maps in the code. Is there a URL I need to insert? Maybe a file location or type I need to add? Is there a program that I need? Could someone explain this as though I stepped out of a time machine from the early 90's? Have you looked at the samples for ArcGIS.com maps in javascript? http://help.arcgis.com/EN/webapi/javascript/arcgis/help/jssamples_start.htm#jssamples/ags_basic.html ... View more

Hi I am wondering if the ArcGIS Platform can be integrated for use in smart phones such as iPhone and Android. Thank you for your feedback. There are ArcGIS apis for both iOS and Android.  In addition, the javascript app can be used to develop HTML5 style webapps that would work on both. ... View more

Thank you so much!  I don't mind a little scripting, I just figured it would be more efficient to pose my question here than to continue digging through the references of code figuring out which to use. Those days are over.  The community IS the reference, and these forums are a great one. ... View more

Nice! Glad we finally got that sorted. unfortunately no, i was hitting a cached copy at 2.5.  Still cant seem to get this to work, still getting an undefined tokenservice url My guess is I am not putting that code in the right place, just need to keep trying. ... View more

Where are you running that code? It should be inside a function called by dojo.ready. well, not in dojo.ready , but you were correct.  I had it in the wrong spot (my dojo-fu was weak) This has fixed me, thank you. ... View more

I ran into this same problem.  You can replicate in ArcMAP with the measure tool by switching between planar and geodesic measurement The fastest (read, not easiest) way I found to handle this was converting all my locations to State Plane (my reference coord system) prior to doing calculations. So for our home built "make a circle" method it would be 1. Get centroid in webmerc 2. Convert centroid back to state plane 3. Create circle in state plane with given (accurate) diameter 4. project circle back to webmerc 5. draw circle. Otherwise you have to do the math to compensate for the geodesic measurements, which is very ugly calculus. ... View more

you are not going to like this answer apparently map.getNumLevels() is not a valid function (it is not listed as a method in the API) if you hardcode a value map.centerAndZoom(pt, 17); the error goes away. ... View more

registerServers takes an array of ServerInfo objects so you'd just need to create a ServerInfo object for each server and add it to the array you provide to registerServers. See the IdentityManagerBase help topic for details: http://help.arcgis.com/en/webapi/javascript/arcgis/help/jsapi_start.htm#jsapi/identitymanagerbase.htm Hmmm, i dont know if that is going to work for us. We use the recommended config of placing all our servers behind a Web App Firewall/reverse proxy.  But we use 1 proxy, and have many servers. so www.mymanatee.org/arcgis/rest/services/utilities/ goes to server 1 but www.mymanatee.org/arcgis/rest/services/sheriff/ goes to server 2 using the registerServers class, they would both have the same serverInfo.server, but with different token services. How would the application know which token server to use for which service ? ... View more

It might be worth testing setting the tokenServiceUrl. You can do this using the following code:   var serverInfo = new esri.ServerInfo();   serverInfo.server = 'http://sampleserver3.arcgisonline.com';   serverInfo.tokenServiceUrl = 'http://sampleserver3.arcgisonline.com/arcgis/tokens/generateToken';              esri.id.registerServers([serverInfo]); I will try that in the morning.  Curious though, how do you do that if you have more than one secure service on more than one server? ...

had to change mine back.  here is a simple working example http://www.mymanatee.org/gisapps/mapviewer/test26.htm uses the 2.6 api and hangs changing the code to 2.5 it works http://www.mymanatee.org/gisapps/mapviewer/test25.htm all i did was take the sample, change the proxy page to my own, remove the feature layer, and change the other layer to my secure service. ...
