I use nliu's Basemap Control (same author of TOC and googlelayer). Its very similiar, but has way more functionality and is super easy to configure. thanks for the suggestion Jeff :). what is the difference between just ArcGIS server serving out map services and application and an internal portal? Any documentation? Charles, think of Portal as a means to host something identical to arcgis.com on your own internal server.  its a totally separate thing from ArcGIS Server. ... View more

they say where there's a will, theres a way, but if you aren't hosting your own internal Portal, i'm not really sure how you would go about putting together a page which serves as a gallery of your ArcGIS Server content. ... View more

unfortunately the ArcGIS Online and Portal APIs are what is used behind the scenes to make sense of "item ids". ... View more

all the basemaps you reference in your code use the same web mercator coordinate system, so what two tiled services are you referring to that have different coordinate systems? if the code you posted is from your actual application, you will have to replace the following line with your actual bing key var bingKey = 'bingmapkey'; see the following article for more information. ...

how are you referencing the proxy in the application? if your application is stored in the root of the web server and the proxy is in a subfolder, you would reference it like this. esri.config.defaults.io.proxyUrl = "/proxy/proxy.ashx"; ... View more

if you're certain that you converted the folder which stores the proxy to an application using IIS manager and you're receiving 500 errors regardless of the page you try and access, its tough to say. here are some possibilities 1. an outgoing proxy is also in use which restricts access to pages to known identities on the network.  (this could explain why you yourself could visit esri.com on a machine, but a request made on behalf of the application pool is denied).  in this situation it is possible either that the request is intercepted by the outgoing proxy and blocked, or that it bypasses the outgoing proxy entirely (and still fails) it would be helpful to get your IT staff involved to try and root out the cause of the problem.  tools like wireshark and tcpdump provide the low-level information necessary to snoop appropriate packet traffic, but they aren't particularly easy navigate. ...

kinetic panning is not yet available in the JavaScript API.  please feel free to upvote the idea in our portal to show your interest in the feature being added in the future. ... View more

i was able to reproduce the problem you described by downloading the zipped application and running it on my own machine without modifying the proxy.  the reason the application functions in firefox and chrome is because those browsers support CORS and can POST without a proxy at all. it is absolutely essential to make sure you are working with a local proxy (rather than one hosted on arcgis.com).  in order to troubleshoot yours, try setting the mustMatch flag to "false" temporarily and testing something similar to the following directly in the browser to see if a page is returned. http://[machinename]/proxy/proxy.ashx?http://esri.com see the following article for more information about configuring proxies... ...

i can let the JavaScript team know about the errors in the sample, but until the problem is fixed, you'll just have to keep track of the errors that were present when you started. As for the "error" below, the behavior is entirely expected, because sampleserver1 doesn't support CORS yet. XMLHttpRequest cannot load http://sampleserver1.arcgisonline.com/ArcGIS/rest/info?f=json. Origin http://help.arcgis.com is not allowed by Access-Control-Allow-Origin. sorry for the unnecessary confusion! ... View more

i didn't have any trouble running the sample you attached over HTTP on my test machine.  besides the 404 errors (which are reproducible in live published sample) what problems are you seeing in the actual app? ... View more

returning to your original question, if you aren't taking advantage of a new class, method or property there usually isn't a tremendous benefit to upgrading the version of the JavaScript API used by an application. are you trying to take advantage of something in particular?  if so, it would probably be helpful to post some of the actual code to see if it is making a deprecated call. ...

i would suggest comparing and contrasting the individual modules loaded using dojo.require statements in your own application with our working 3.2 sample because version 3.x can require the explicit mention of certain modules which were loaded automatically pre dojo 1.7. dojo.require("esri.tasks.locator"); dojo.require("esri.tasks.route"); dojo.require("dojox.mobile.parser"); dojo.require("dojox.mobile"); dojo.require("dojox.mobile.Button"); dojo.requireIf(!dojo.isWebKit, "dojox.mobile.compat"); see the section "explicitly requiring modules" in the article below for more information http://help.arcgis.com/en/webapi/javascript/arcgis/help/jshelp/migration_30.htm ...
