On a related note its not necessary to specify all the values for the layer definition. Here's a simple layer definition that worked for me in your test application.     var mylayerDefinition = {           "geometryType": "esriGeometryPoint",           "drawingInfo": {             "renderer": {               "type": "simple",               "symbol": {                 "type": "esriPMS",                 "url": "reddot.png",                 "imageData": "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",                 "contentType": "image/png",                 "width": 15,                 "height": 15               }             }           },           "fields": [{             "name": "name",             "type": "esriFieldTypeString",             "alias": "Name",             "length": 50           }]         }; ...

It looks like you'll need to specify the url to the symbol for this to work in IE 8. If the url property doesn't contain http:// it assumes that the location is relative. "symbol": {                 "type": "esriPMS",                 "url": "http://somename/somelocation/reddot.png",                 "imageData": "iVBORw0KGgoAAAANSUhEUgAAACYAAAAmCAYAAACoPemuAAAAAXNSR0IArs4c6QAAAAZiS0dEAP8A/wD/oL2nkwAAAAlwSFlzAAALEwAACxMBAJqcGAAAAAd0SU1FB9oGGBcGLvZ5AIUAAATDSURBVFjD3Zg/aBt3FMe/v9+d7iSfUnNClAolFWnsRaF4LKU2HrK4hJYMKUQiJRRClnbKEE8Z2s1Dh9Bkryk+OoQshZAlhGIPaUpxlIDbRgqOIlSZoNxhx2fpTr8/HXynKL......... ...

You can increase the size of the symbol swatches using something like this:       .esriLegendService img{         width:55px;       } ... View more

The Map.graphics object is only available after the map's onLoad event has fired.  For example: dojo.connect(map, "onLoad", function() { ShowLocation(-81.3765, 28.54175); });   function ShowLocation(x, y) {     var point = new esri.geometry.Point(x, y, new esri.SpatialReference({wkid:4326}));     var simpleMarkerSymbol = new esri.symbol.SimpleMarkerSymbol();     var graphic = new esri.Graphic(point, simpleMarkerSymbol);         map.graphics.add(graphic); } ...

There are several css classes for the legend dijit that allow you to alter the default appearance, here's an example where the font color and family are modified for the text in the legend:       .esriLegendLayerLabel{         font-family:'Monotype Corsiva';         color:red;       }       .esriLegendServiceLabel{         font-family: 'Times New Roman';         color:green;       }       .esriLegendService{         color:orange;         font-weight:bold;       } The API Reference for the JavaScript API has a listing of the CSS classes. ...

You can check to see if the map's info window is displayed using the InfoWindow's isShowing property. If the InfoWindow is visible you can then call the hide method. ... View more

Mark, Here's a code snippet that worked for me:           dojo.connect(layer,"onBeforeApplyEdits",function(adds,updates,deletes){             dojo.forEach(adds,function(add){               add.attributes.symbolid = new Date().getTime().toString();             });           }); ... View more

esri.bundle contains various tooltip and other informative messages. Do you have code that reproduces the problem? If so I'd be happy to take a look. ... View more

I haven't seen this behavior, can you reproduce the problem with one of the sample? If so which one? ... View more

You are correct, in the sample you like the southerly postion is used. The Scalebar widget help topic provides a few details about the location used to calculate the scale when placed externally. http://help.arcgis.com/EN/webapi/javascript/arcgis/help/jsapi_start.htm#jsapi/scalebar.htm Presumably the most southerly latitude is still used when using the scalebar in an external container, like in this sample. ...

This question comes up frequently so I added a new sample to the ArcGIS Resource Center this morning showing how to format the contents of an info window.  The sample formats string values but could easily be modified to apply numeric or date formatting. http://help.arcgis.com/EN/webapi/javascript/arcgis/help/jssamples/fl_infowindow.html FYI: We are making some changes at 2.2 that will simplify this process. ...

It looks like the map's onLoad event wasn't firing. I moved the code that hooks up the onload event above the lines that add the openstreetmap layer and the polygon displays (see attached). ... View more

The feature layer has an applyedits method that you can use to add new features to a feature layer. The following samples show how to use this method. http://help.arcgis.com/en/webapi/javascript/arcgis/help/jssamples_start.htm#jssamples/ed_feature_creation.html http://help.arcgis.com/en/webapi/javascript/arcgis/help/jssamples_start.htm#jssamples/mobile_geolocaterenderer.html ...
