I am running into this issue in version 3.6 also. The error occurs in IE only. The error message is as follows: Unhandled exception at line 34, column 95354 in http://js.arcgis.com/3.6/init.js 0x800a138f - JavaScript runtime error: Unable to get property 'toLowerCase' of undefined or null reference I have a lot of trouble reading these minified javascript files, but I think it is triggered by the mouse down event. Here is a screenshot of the break point in visual studio. And here is line in error with the prior line that attaches a mouse down event if using IE browser. (doc){if(has("ie")){_320.document.body.attachEvent("onmousedown",_323);var _324=function(evt){var tag=evt.srcElement.tagName.toLowerCase();if(tag=="#document"||tag=="body"){return;} The code should test if evt.srcElement.tagName is null before applying the toLowerCase() method. Maybe they could do something like this: var tag=evt.srcElement.tagName;if(tag==null||tag.toLowerCase()=="#document"||tag.toLowerCase()=="body"){return;} I hope the ESRI Development Team is able to resolve the issue for all versions of the API. Because I do not want to store a local copy of the API on my server. ... View more

I also need this functionality. We create a tax map book application on CD that has to be completely functional without access to the internet. The website has images that I export from ArcMap as a png that has corresponding rollover hotspots for the townships and the map book pages. For duplication purposes (we build this application for every revenue year), it is critical that the exported images are clipped to the graphics extent or the rollovers will not line up on the images. This is the only process holdng me up from running a python script to completely automate the process of building the application every year. I have to manually export nearly 40 images before i can run my script and the application gets built. I hope this functionality gets implimented in the next release. ... View more

I was just experiencing this same problem using the editor dijit with the attribute inspector displaying in a div instead of the info window. An empty info window kept popping up on screen. My solution was to set the following styles in my css stylesheet. #map_infowindow {     display:none;     visibility:hidden; } .window {     display:none;     visibility:hidden; } Hope this helps! 🙂 ...

your colors are not valid. RGB colors do allow for a fourth value that represents transparency, however this value should be between 0.0 and 1.0. for example... [255,255,255,1.0] ... View more

you cannot call map.onLoad() until after you initialize the map. try placing it after map = new esri.Map("map", { extent: startExtent }); ... View more

I am also trying to impliment the .Net version of this. I have the layers blending to the output image, but the graphics are not yet working. a few things to remember when setting up this application: In the Web.config: <appSettings>     <add key="OutputPath" value="C:\\arcgisserver\\arcgisoutput\\" />     <add key="OutputUrl" value="http://www.[your domain]/arcgisoutput/" />   </appSettings> Note: OutputPath should be changed to the actual physical location of the arcgisoutput folder if the default settings were not accepted. replace [your domain] with your virtual location of arcgisoutput example: value="http://www.maps.ccgisc.org/arcgisoutput/" in IIS manager browse to Default Web Site (or whatever your application is called) make sure you have a virtual directory called arcgisoutput. If you do not have virtual directories set up, refer to the post install and configuration instructions. in layout.aspx in the init() function: //configure custom PrintableLayer         esri.config.defaults.io.proxyUrl = "http://www.maps.ccgisc.org/proxy.ashx";         var layer = new my.PrintableLayer("http://www.maps.ccgisc.org/MergeAndOutput.ashx", {           layers:appState.map.layers,           extent: new esri.geometry.Extent(appState.map.extent)         }); remember to replace the link location with the virtual location of your own application. remember to update the references to the javascript api and stylesheet to version 2.1 (the body of this file can also be modified to style your print page.) in printing.js: printingHiddenFrame.src = "../hiddenframe.html"; needs to match your relative location from the printing.js file. good luck! ...

I use dijit.form.ToggleButton. dojo.require("dijit.form.ToggleButton"); var idStatus = false; in the init() function: dojo.connect(map, "onClick", function(evt) {         mapPoint = evt.mapPoint;         testIdentify();     }); the buttons onClick: onClick: function() { idStatus = !idStatus; idStatus ? map.setMapCursor("help") : map.setMapCursor("default"); } function testIdentify(evt) {     if (idStatus) {        // do identify     }     return; } ...

I figured out what I was doing wrong. when I was adding the graphic to the drawingGraphicsLayer I was calling drawingGraphicsLayer.add(map.graphics.add(graphic)); so essentially, I was adding the graphic to both the drawingGraphicsLayer and the default GraphicsLayer map.graphics I think the reason I did this was because I was calling map.addLayer(drawingGraphicsLayer); before the map was loaded which caused a JScript runtime error "this._cg._surface" is null or not an object. I found the solution here: http://forums.esri.com/Thread.asp?c=93&f=2396&t=284131&g=1 Seems like (unlike most layers) you have to wait for the map to load before adding a new GraphicsLayer drawingGraphicsLayer = new esri.layers.GraphicsLayer(); dojo.connect(map, "onLoad", function() {    map.addLayer(drawingGraphicsLayer)); }); ...

I was getting the same Jscript runtime error: "this._gc._surface" is null or not an object when adding a new graphics layer to the map. I found the solution here: http://forums.esri.com/Thread.asp?c=93&f=2396&t=284131&g=1 The solution was to not load the graphics layer until after the map is finished loading. selLayer = new esri.layers.GraphicsLayer(); dojo.connect(map, "onLoad", function() {    map.addLayer(selLayer)); }); Not sure if you are trying to add your graphics to a new graphics layer or the default graphics layer maps.graphics but this solution worked for me. ...

add the following line to the top of your addToMap function: map.graphics.clear(); function addToMap(geometry) {       map.graphics.clear();       //toolbar.deactivate();       map.showZoomSlider();        switch (geometry.type) {           case "point":             var symbol = new esri.symbol.SimpleMarkerSymbol(esri.symbol.SimpleMarkerSymbol.STYLE_X, 10, new esri.symbol.SimpleLineSymbol(esri.symbol.SimpleLineSymbol.STYLE_SOLID, new dojo.Color([255,0,0]), 2), new dojo.Color([0,255,0,1]));       }       var graphic = new esri.Graphic(geometry, symbol);       map.graphics.add(graphic); } ...
