I did wonder about passing the innerHTML instead of the grid, but the sample came from one of web developers which is not familiar with dojo datagrids.  I'm sure he stuck with what he is familiar with. I'm a little confused about the ... you put in the dojo.forEach.  Are you thinking something more is needed there?  I can't think what, but it is Monday morning! ... View more

I started out as a FLEX developer and I still miss a lot of things about it.  Better options for developing the look and feel of the interface probably most of all.   I haven't heard anything lately about Silverlight, but it sounds like it's not got a long life to it either.  If I was starting from scratch, I would probably pick Javascript just because it's the most likely to be around for the long run.  I wouldn't completely discount Flash, though, if you were needing to develop a mobile app, as opposed to a mobile friendly web site.  These are written in Adobe Air, which doesn't run in the Flash player. ...

12.0. I tracked down an old thread that described a similar situtation, but for tabs in a tabcontainer rather than a floating pane.  It did mention my default size of 400 x 400 as being an issue with map content for a container that's not yet initialized.  So I either need to initialize it differently than I have or just figure out a way to define the height and width before it opens the floating pane. This started originally with a map in the center of the layout and a list in the left pane.  I didn't really change it up too much which I switched it to this version.  Mostly I wrapped the mapDiv in a floating pane when it had been in a regular contentPane.   Mostly this has worked, but I think this problem is a side effect of not having my initializations in the right order now. ...

I knew I needed a different pair of eyes!  I was sure that would fix it, but it didn't!.  I'm noticing setting a breakpoint when the map is created, it's height and width are defined as 400x400 px. In the documentation, it says the size is determined by the div it's in.  but since my div is within a floating pane that isn't yet opened, maybe it's getting confused?  I have set explicit dimensions (comparable to the dimensions of the floating panel), to 100% to auto and to inherit (which all sound the same to me, but I'm sure have subtle differences!).  Nothing is making my map budge from it's 400 x 400 size.  In Firebug, I can set the dimensions of the mapDiv and mapDiv_root, which seems to be the container within it once it's renderer, but adding dimensions for the styles of those doesn't make any difference. The map is still not resizing when I resize the pane.  I have the resizeHandle.css referenced, which seems to be a common error people make.   My 'workaround' is to have the dimension of the floating pane to also be a square, so it's not so obvious I have a problem.  But that's no kind of solution! I did finally dig around enough in the style of the dock to get my button to look better! ... View more

I agree, there are only a few things that you have to watch out for.  Our default browser is IE 8 and we still have users at IE 7.  I was able to use the dojox mobile components and make it work on both mobile and browsers.  Of course it's styled for mobile, but technically it does work on multiple devices. ...

Did you get this figured out yet?  I got stuck in the same place, trying to sort out points vs. geometry etc.  Not only did I want to enter an address,  I still wanted my identifytask to work too. I created a couple of variables var geometryPt; var idFromClick = true; Your identify parameters are not anything different.  For me I added an onClick event on the map.  This gave me a place to call an identifyTask function that would work both from a click and from the results function of the locate.  dojo.connect(map, "onClick", function () {idFromClick = true;}); dojo.connect(map, "onClick", executeIdentifyTask); This is my executeIdentifyTask function.  My identify was likely to return from multiple layers, so you'll need the same deferred technique if you do too.  You need to pay attention to what sort of geometry you are using in your identifyparameters.  When I call it from a click event, I needed to convert it to a mapPoint because it's only coordinates/geometry.  When you get the results of a locator, it's already a point, so you need to keep track of whether a click or a geocode is the input.   function executeIdentifyTask(evt) {         identifyParams.mapExtent = map.extent.expand(0.1);         identifyParams.geometry = evt;      var inputPt = evt;     if (idFromClick) { // input from map click         identifyParams.geometry = evt.mapPoint;             inputPt = evt.mapPoint;         }       var deferred = identifyTask.execute(identifyParams);         deferred.addCallback(function(response) {                // response is an array of identify result objects               // Let's return an array of features.           return dojo.map(response, function(result) {             var feature = result.feature;             feature.setInfoTemplate(myTemplate);               return feature;                       });         });         // InfoWindow expects an array of features from each deferred object that you pass. If the response from the task execution          // above is not an array of features, then you need to add a callback like the one above to post-process the response and return an         // array of features.         map.infoWindow.setFeatures([ deferred ]);         map.infoWindow.resize(175,100);         map.infoWindow.show(inputPt); //point type is the same coming from either method      //map.infoWindow.show(evt.mapPoint);         }       Then make a few modifications to the standard locate and showResults functions.  You can edit out the lines I have for "containsCounty".  I'm mapping a whole state and I needed to handle somehow a user entering "Jackson County, MO" or some other county name instead of a city.        function locate() {   You can see at the very end I'm using the geocoded point as the input to the identify.             idFromClick = false;  //executeIdentifyTask handles the type of point being passed.             map.infoWindow.hide();             map.graphics.clear();             geometryPt = "";             var address = {"SingleLine":dojo.byId("txtAddress").value};                         locator.outSpatialReference= map.spatialReference;             var options = {               address:address,               outFields:["Loc_name"]             };             locator.addressToLocations(options);       }        function showResults(candidates) {             var candidate;             var symbol = new esri.symbol.SimpleMarkerSymbol();             var addressTemplate = new esri.InfoTemplate("Location", "Address: ${address}<br />");                 symbol.setStyle(esri.symbol.SimpleMarkerSymbol.STYLE_SQUARE);             symbol.setColor(new dojo.Color([255,0,0,0.75]));                                 dojo.every(candidates,function(candidate){                   console.log(candidate.score);                   if (candidate.score > 80) {                     console.log(candidate.location);                     var attributes = { address: candidate.address, score:candidate.score, pt:candidate.location };                        geometryPt = candidate.location;                     var graphic = new esri.Graphic(geometryPt, symbol, attributes, addressTemplate);                     //add a graphic to the map at the geocoded location                     map.graphics.add(graphic);                     //add a text symbol to the map listing the location of the matched address.                     var displayText = candidate.address;                        map.infoWindow.show(geometryPt);                   map.infoWindow.setTitle("Address");                             return false; //break out of loop after one candidate with score greater  than 80 is found.                    }                         });             if(geometryPt !== undefined){                 var containsCountyPosition = (dojo.byId("txtAddress").value.toLowerCase().indexOf(" county"));                                 if (containsCountyPosition > 0) {                       map.centerAndZoom(geometryPt,10);                     } else {                          map.centerAndZoom(geometryPt,12);                     }                                 executeIdentifyTask(geometryPt);             }      ...

I thought nobody.  But when I sent out my link, asking them to check and let me know what device they were using, 2 out of the 9 people who responded had one. ... View more

Now that I have this in production, it doesn't look like Windows phone is accounted for in the list.  I'm having a hard time figuring out for sure what that is.  Is it iemobile or something else? ... View more

We're about to roll out our first mobile Javascript application based on the Find Nearby location example, which uses dojox mobile.  It worked better on mobile devices that it did in the older browsers we have installed (IE7, IE8).  I felt like I needed it to work in our browsers too, not just on mobile.  The first thing people will do when you send out a notice of a new map is to try it out (no matter what device they happen to be using at the time!).    I spent a fair amount of time debugging for IE and I ended up having to use a slightly older version of the Javascript library, which ended up working better for IE (used version 2.8). Even though the example is written calling the iPhone CSS, it has been tested successfully on an Android, Windows Phone and Blackberry too.  I don't know about Sencha touch. ... View more

It seems to be working better now in terms of references to the JS API, but I see the Code Gallery is still empty of content. Since there hasn't been any official acknowledgement there is an issue, I'm not sure if it's on the way to getting fixed or not. ... View more

I got a phone call on the incident I placed.  I found out they have been doing some edits on the javascript API files.  Supposedly they shouldn't have caused any of us a problem.  The comment was made that maybe it was on my end, which I highly doubt given the responses to this thread already.  It is being looked into. ...
