We (myself and my students) are stuck at the end of Chapter 5 Part 1 page 112. We can't get the Requests button to pop-up with the Requests dialog box. We are using your code (chapter5/part1/app). We are all running this from machines that have been configured with IIS/Windows 8.1. Each student has their own machine/web server. When we click on the requests button (upper right) it becomes highlighted. Then when we click on the map--we get a quick zoom in, and that's all. Chapter 5 parts 2 and 3 work as advertised. So I know we've all set up our arcgis.com feature services correctly. I know that in some ways--this doesn't matter--as we go onto change the code in Parts 2 and 3. However we are curious as to why this is failing. Any ideas?

That is odd. I looked over the code in the book and the code I'm using and I'm not noticing any obvious differences. Can you try part 1 from the github repo to see if that works?
https://github.com/odoe/ArcGISWebDev/tree/master/chapter5/part1/app

I'll keep digging around to see if I can find anything missing from the code sample in the book.

Thanks!

Please help me in this regard.

Is this effecting the use of your application or does the error show in your debug tools and the application still works?
You will probably still receive this error when developing your application, but it should not impact the performance of your application. This is a CORS issue and is usually just an error from the API, but it has built in workarounds for it.

Hi Rene,
I downloaded your code from github, and put it on my own website. But when I login with my ArcGIS Online account, I can see no icon. I check the console, and found this error:
Error: You do not have permissions to access this resource or perform this operation. "Error: You do not have permissions to access this resource or perform this operation.

When I try to build this project (chapter5, part 1) by following the book, I met the same situation like the one dmdiggs met. The icon shows, but no responds after clicking.

A little advise, can you publish your samples to some kinds of server, so that everybody who bought your book can have a look at what the really working code and website looks like. At that time, nobody will doubt whether there is something wrong with your code. And focus on looking into setting issue.

Thanks for this good book anyway.

OK, I found the trick to solve the problem now...
1. down load the github zip file from the link provided by author.
2.Chapter 5 part 1 should work after two simple changes.
1)/js/services/mapservices.js:
change REQUEST_URL = "......". Put your own service URL here, because you have no permission to author's map service.
2)/js/controllers/appcontroller.js:
You can find some "interesting" comments here. When you uncomment
Line 48 //editorWidget.startup();
and Line 53 //esriConfig.defaults.io.proxy = '/proxy/proxy/php';
Bang! It works!

I have put up a page that shows all the samples from the book, thanks for the suggestion!

I hope that helps!
