OK - nothing in the logs and straight requests for legend work every time, so time for a classic hack/bodge (sorry) In the TOC.js I've changed the error routine of _getLegendInfo to call itself again error: dojo.hitch(this, this._getLegendInfo) WRONG  on SO many levels I know, but as I have a captive user base with known map services  AND this issue happens less than 1 in 5 requests  then it seems to work without adding much overhead at all. If it breaks later, I'll simply cry and curl up in a corner somewhere. ACM ... View more

One thing I was about to post anyway, the dynamic services it fails on contain ONLY raster images. I was also about to dig into the server logs too.   I'll post back if I find anything Many thanks ACM Edit - in fact one of the services isn't all raster - so please ignore.  However the one service that is all NON-raster never fails this way. ...

We do not have plans to add a "layer list" or "table of contents" widget to manage map layers and sublayers. We've resisted adding this to the API because we don't want to encourage building generic, kitchen sink style viewers. I realize that we (Esri) do not have a consistent story on this as we still provide generic viewers for other platforms/technologies. We're open to discussing it further, but I personally agree with anti-viewer, anti-portal sentiments that some have expressed online for the past couple of years (most recent example). Derek -  the thing about that link you post, the main thing that jumps out at me, right in the title is the word "ONLINE" My main app is to replace and ArcIMS app, which in turn replaced a non-ESRI GIS desktop app (with per seat cost) for our INTERNAL users. As it is internal I have control over browser choice, training documentation, I can talk to all the users.  The users have a finite set of requirements and use my application daily.  They don't "discover" it.  They are not looking for " a single layer".  They don't then leave.  They know what layers they need and know the broad category these layers may live in. I have, at last count, over 100 layers. I have a user base ranging from 16 to over 70 in age, probably still skewed towards the older end - in other words Digital Immigrants, not Digital Natives.  For some the use of any IT doesn't come easy.  Having all my layers in nice groups that match their expectations is a must. For ArcIMS this was achieved using David Bollingers TOC in my new one it is using Nianwei Liu's.  Both do an excellent job.  Esri should re-examine exactly what people are using their products for.

🙂 Looks good - I'll try it tomorrow - right now I'm having fun with inserting directly into unversioned SDE tables using SQL and getting me geometries and geographies all mixed up - may have to post to a different forum! Many thanks Edit - couldn't wait (plus SQL not working) so tried it and works, marked as answered.  Many thanks ... View more

Thanks- I found that last week, but couldn't follow it - I'll have another go now. ... View more

Yep - I think I'd got to the same conclusion, however that's where my skills end. The grid is defined so - <table dojotype="dojox.grid.DataGrid" jsid="grid1" id="grid1" autoheight="10" rowsperpage="160" rowselector="10px">                         <thead>                             <tr>                                 <th field="Address" width="160px">Address                                 </th>                                 <th field="PAO_FROM" formatter="PAOFormat" width="160px">PAO_FROM                                 </th>                             </tr>                         </thead>                     </table> and then later populated like this         //Create data object to be used in store         var data = {             identifier: "OBJECTID",             label: "LSData",             items: items         };         //Create data store and bind to grid.         store1 = new dojo.data.ItemFileReadStore({             data: data         });         console.debug(store1)         dijit.byId("keycontainer").selectChild(dijit.byId("results"));         grid1.setStore(store1); with items being the results dataset from the find task - however, right from when I view the attributes of the results it appears like PAO_FROM: Array[1] 0: "19" length: 1 despite the service definition stating PAO_FROM ( type: esriFieldTypeSmallInteger , alias: PAO_FROM ) AS mentioned in the first post,  I did find some reference to  cellType when creating the dojodatagrid, but no fll list of types.

Thanks, but that still sorts it 001 010 011 002 I'll check out the dgrid next work day, but this is really for the last touch to an almost finished product - the next version I'll look at new stuff + making all AMD. The results are actually from a find results set.  Is there any way that I can sort that object based on an attribute before it gets attached to the data grid? Cheers ACM ... View more

Yep - you had to add a query statement for some reason in the layer, but 1=1 (ie everything) did the trick. I think build 2.4 did it. On the other hand if you had grouped lots of attribute, (say cad feature = Building, Garage, Shed) as one style, the TOC would break them out again. ... View more

Nianwei Liu - this may be a caching/IIS/IE thing but my users are mentioning that sometime the expand button (the little cross) vanishes from collapsed TOCs - I've yet to be able to repeat this, but when it does happen a clear of the IE cache seems to work. Has anyone else had these issues? Cheers ACM ... View more

🙂 Now why didn't anyone at Esri state the above - so, in Microsoft term, "This behaviour is by design" The "bug" should remain through, but be changed to say "make the documentation clear" ... View more

I gave it a good try, but for now defeated.  I worked out my wkid issue was something to do with my local 3.5 - running it with esr 3.6 moved on to the next errors - a shed load of parser issues. So, I will put this aside for now, and concentrate on stuff my users are asking for - like a constrained Floatingpane 🙂 Thanks for the help so far - at least I have a better understanding. ACM ...

Yep - Hjelmeland has been PMing me with lots of suggestions -  on the last go we took working code of his and dropped my map service in.  It worked on his code.  The only difference I can see is if I examine the map object, on the working code we have spatialReference: Object latestWkid: 27700 wkid: 27700 __proto__: Object updating: false width: 1680 wrapAround180: fal On mine spatialReference: Objectwkid: 27700 __proto__: Object updating: false width: 1435 wrapAround180: false for the SpatialReference object - you'll notice the additional "latestWkid" attribute. Cheers ACM Edit nearly there - my code was a horrid mix of legacy and AMD, and I had a new AMD style chunk basically doing the same stuff I'd inserted ages back.  Removing this gives me an overview map (breaks loads of other stuff until I reinsert it al in the right place) Edit #2 No idea - a brief glimpse was lost again 😞 will still work on it. ...
