Andrew, just to clarify, the issue i documented earlier in this thread is not the same issue that Adrian is referring to, and it is not a JS API bug, but rather a problem with the REST response itself.  i'd be happy to log a new NIM for this issue, but i'm not quite sure i understand the use case for formatting a request to explicitly include a layer that you don't want to be returned. ...

i did some more testing this morning and i made a mistake yesterday in stating that the identify operation doesn't take scale into account.  while a scale value is not explicitly supplied, it is necessary to pass in a map extent when identifying.  in my tests, rightfully, the values returned given a specific tolerance were different depending on the extent. identifyParams.layerIds = [1,2,3,4,5,6,7,9]; i took a look at the REST documentation and it confirms your expectation that using visible in conjunction with explicitly declared layers should only return results if a returned item is included in one of layers requested AND and would be visible in the map service at the current extent. http://resources.arcgis.com/en/help/rest/apiref/identify.html i put together a sample application which seems to demonstrate that this is not the case, as a layer index will be returned (even if it has a default visibility of FALSE in the map service) http://jsfiddle.net/jagravois/nPpp9/1/ all in all, it seems that you should be able to get the results you want by not asking for a specific layer if you don't want it to be included in the result, whether you are using VISIBLE or ALL as your layerOption parameter. i hope this information helps. ...

hi andrew, LAYER_OPTION_VISIBLE means checked on in the map document used to create the map service, whether or not they show up at a particular scale. if you take JavaScript out of the equation and attempt to identify a feature directly in REST, you will notice that you pass in geometry to help you search, but you don't pass in any information about a particular scale. see the following thread for more information. ...

shouldn't it work fine in the print legend? the legend widget doesn't work "inside of" the print widget.  the print widget makes a call to generate an entirely new legend on the server and as far as i know, the legendLayer class doesn't yet incorporate an approach for specifying individual layer titles. ...

during a technical support incident Joanne and i noticed that the problem was isolated to situations in which other layers are provided prior to the DynamicMapService with a dynamic client side renderer in the array of layerInfos, or when layerInfos are not specified in the constructor for the legend widget at all.  i logged the following defect on her behalf: [#NIM085566  When no layerInfos are passed to the legend widget, labels are not updated to reflect new class breaks when the symbology is updated. ] please don't hesitate to contact support if you would like to have your name added to the list of customers affected by this issue. ...

you could include a group layer in your map service called "Building classes" and include it in the legendLayers being passed to your layoutOptions. ... View more

you'd probably have more luck in searching in the ArcGIS Desktop forums than here in API for JavaScript, but you might try the following steps A. Close all ESRI products B. Locate the ESRI folder under: On Win XP:  browse to C:\documents and settings\\Application Data (you may have to allow hidden files to be shown, from the Windows Explorer -> Tools -> folder Options -> View page) On Vista or Win7:  browse to c:\users\\AppData\Roaming\ESRI C. rename the ESRI folder to ESRI_OLD D. Run Regedit (Start menu -> Run -> regedit) E. Expand HKEY_CURRENT_USER folder F. Expand Software folder G. rename the ESRI folder to ESRI_OLD H. Exit Regedit ... View more

if you're trying to rewrite that funcationality in a new single page application, thats a whole nother can of worms.  in general you'll have to think about maintaining two seperate functions and use one to define parameters for the find task and another to geocode.  in the parks and rec sample, they use a function called locate() to run the find task.  Inside that function, if txtAddress is disabled, it fires the function GeoCodeAddress() instead. ...

i saw your DM today, but the hosted service no longer seems to be up in arcgis.com.  i tried working with the Rigs_All layer in the map service below, but i can't even get the feature layer to display. im not sure whats going on, but theres definitely something wrong with the extent in REST Extent: XMin: -151.631428 YMin: 5.6843418860808E-14 XMax: 5.6843418860808E-14 YMax: 70.2977660000001 Spatial Reference: 4326 http://services.arcgis.com/s94UJcOoEa23NHUs/ArcGIS/rest/services/Sales_Support_Map/FeatureServer/4 ...

i took a look at this and all you have to do is add the additional field to the config.txt file //Fields used for searching the features through find task.  (don't forget the trailing comma!) 'SearchFields':"FacilitySitePoint.NAME,FacilitySitePoint.OBJECTID", ... View more

can you provide a sample application demonstrating the problem? ... View more

hi alan, our JavaScript api definitely supports dynamic rendering, but you may have your work cut out for you if you don't have an attribute field readily available to use as the basic for the renderer. http://help.arcgis.com/en/webapi/javascript/arcgis/help/jssamples/renderer_generate_renderer.html I don't see in any of the samples anyway to aggregate my data range information into a shapefile, say state/county/zip what do you mean by this? ...
