Sorry that didn't work. It's been a while ago, but I recall encountering this. It was a printing out of IE problem. I think the raster layers print but are rendered as solid white. You can test this by changing the background color of the map. You might try setting the z-index of the map element to 1. Honestly, the print task is worth getting 10.1 if you need easy printing. There is always the custom print task route too. At one time the St.Louis esri office had a 10 print task in the code gallery (which I assume morphed into the out-of-box 10.1 print task). But it's one of those great items that has "mysteriously" vanished as the version number has increased. ... View more

The callback on applyEdits returns the objectId of the new feature. In the add feature callback function update the attribute and send it back for an update. //create "feature" app.editLayer.applyEdits([feature], null, null, function (response) { console.log('feature added'); feature.attributes.SOME_OTHER_FIELD = response.addResults[0].objectId; app.editLayer.applyEdits(null, [feature], null, function (response) {          console.log('feature updated'); }, function (error) {   console.log(error) }) }, function (error) { console.log(error) }); ...

It worked in IE 8, which is still our default browser. Great. I need to update mine as dojo.attr is depreciated anyway. ... View more

Here's one way to connect to minimize icon of a floating pane. Doesn't work in IE <= 8. var minNode = dojo.query('#tools-measure-floating-pane .dojoxFloatingMinimizeIcon')[0]; dojo.attr(minNode, 'onclick', 'app.tools.measure.clear()'); ... View more

Just so you know: Firefox, Chrome, etc will ignore that sort of thing, but IE won't. When an app breaks in IE it's almost always an extra comma or a missing semi-colon. ... View more

Matt is right. map = new esri.Map("map", {   basemap: "streets",   center: center,   zoom: zoom,   infoWindow: popup, //no commas on last object pair }); Remove the comma. ... View more

It's time to write your own measurement widget. http://dojotoolkit.org/documentation/tutorials/1.8/templated/ The esri widgets are fine with simple applications, but if you are going to develop applications with lots of features, tools, etc they start creating more problems than they solve.  Mostly because they are not very customizable, if at all, in the way they function and in styling.  This is inherent in templated widgets in general.  The js team does a good job of adding/updating base functionality in widgets to make them as functional for as many people as they can, but they can't take every possible situation into account.  If you need more than the widget offers, write your own.  That's the power of dojo.  I don't know what your experience is with dojo and templated widgets, but if you are new at it, it can be a little overwhelming at first.  But get a couple under your belt and a whole world of possibilities will open up for you when developing highly functional applications.  Perhaps not what you wanted to hear, but I hope it helps.

None are required.  Of course without geometry and a symbol the graphic will not show in the map. Having said that, if you are creating graphics from a query, identify, etc, you should set attributes and info template.  Without them graphics don't have much functionality. Graphics for display only, for example a polygon for selecting other features, do not need attributes or info template. The measure widget example http://developers.arcgis.com/en/javascript/samples/widget_measurement/ illustrates this. Measure in the map, find the graphic's DOM object using firebug map._layers.map_graphics.graphics[0] and check for attributes map._layers.map_graphics.graphics[0].attributes and info template map._layers.map_graphics.graphics[0].infoTemplate. Both are undefined. ... View more
