I'm not sure I completely understand your question but here are a few things I noticed:-you're using a map service in web mercator(wkid 102100) but specifying a geographic extent(wkid 4326). Use esri.geometry.geographicToWebMercator() to convert your extent before passing it to your map:
var initialExtent = new esri.geometry.Extent({"xmin":-120.227821999585,"ymin":20.5332698820995,"xmax":-65.9816769016675,"ymax":71.4062353670687,"spatialReference":{"wkid":4326}});
map = new esri.Map("mapDiv", {
extent: esri.geometry.geographicToWebMercator(initialExtent)
});
-you're adding a tile map service but using the dynamic map service constructor. Use:
var layer = new esri.layers.ArcGISTiledMapServiceLayer("http://server.arcgisonline.com/ArcGIS/rest/services/World_Street_Map/MapServer");
-to handle resizing of the browser use this:
dojo.connect(map, 'onLoad', function() {
// handle resize of the browser
dojo.connect(dijit.byId('map'), 'resize', map,map.resize);
//Listen for click event on the map, when the user clicks on the map call executeQueryTask function.
dojo.connect(map, "onClick", executeQueryTask);
});
Note: the map's onLoad event is also where you should connect your onClick handlerHere's a tweaked version of your whole page:
