There is a "private", undocumented function of the esri.tasks.PrintTask class called _getPrintDefinition which generates an object conforming to the Export Web Map Specification. This is pretty useful and should be a supported, publicly available, documented namespace function. E.g., the function should be moved somewhere like esri.tasks.getPrintDefinition or esri.getPrintDefinition.

You need to assign a value to the lods option in the esri.Map constructor to limit the zoom levels.

You can't "hide" the code. The client (browser) HAS to download the JavaScript code in order to run it. The closest you can come is to minify your JavaScript code.

The JavaScript API should be able to project geometries on the client side instead of requiring the use of a Geometry service. There is a library called Proj4js that can do this, but it should be part of the API. I have created a demo that uses Proj4js with the ArcGIS JS API.

The first thing I would do is your JavaScript code* through either JSLint or JSHint to check for errors. * If you are not writing JavaScirpt, but it is instead being generated by Kurogo, then run the generated JavaScript code through JSLint or JSHint.

Your JSON is not valid. You need to use double-quotes (") around your identifiers and strings. { "identifier": "id", "label": "name", "type": "esriFieldTypeString", "items": [ { "id": 1, "name": "�??们", "type": "esriFieldTypeString" } ] } You can use JsonLint to validate your JSON.

Not that I have not personally used this myself, but... I saw a presentation where a guy talked about using this product to do store tiles offline: http://mapbox.com/developers/mbtiles/

I've never had to construct a SOAP request manually. I've only used the SOAP endpoint through the .NET proxy library. I would write a .NET app using this library to call the SOAP endpoint, then use Fiddler to capture the request when the program is running.

You can also use the proj4js library to do the projection.

Try putting the following at the top of the jsapi_vsdoc_v31.js file: /*jslint sloppy: true */

I think it would be <ProjectedCoordinateSystem><WKID>102100</WKID></ProjectedCoordinateSystem>

The dojo/on module has replaced the dojo.connect method as the preferred way to handle events in Dojo. I am able to get the "on" method to work with DOM events (e.g., HTML button click), but I can't get it to work with any of the ArcGIS JavaScript API classes' events. Is there a way to use the on method with the ArcGIS JavaScript API events? (If so, can you provide an example?)

I noticed that in the Beta install directory there are now arcpy and Python directories. What are those used for?

Currently ArcGIS Online allows users to share code (e.g. geoprocessing samples) only by uploading a zip file. I would like to be able to instead provide a link to an external website (e.g. a GitHub repository page).

The new Bookmark widget throws an error when using Chrome. Follow the following steps to reproduce the error. Open the "Bookmark Widget - Editable" sample in Chrome. Press F12 to open the debugging window. Add a bookmark using the bookmark widget. Upon adding a bookmark, the following exception is thrown. Uncaught Error: NOT_FOUND_ERR: DOM Exception 8 _4.declare._finishEditserverapi.arcgisonline.com/jsapi/arcgis/2.5/js/esri/dijit/Bookmarks.xd.js:19 _4.declare._editBookmarkLabelserverapi.arcgisonline.com/jsapi/arcgis/2.5/js/esri/dijit/Bookmarks.xd.js:19 dojo.hitchserverapi.arcgisonline.com:14 Note that this error doesn't actually prevent the user from using the widget, though.
