I have been trying to use the updated ArcGIS API for Javascript, with ArcGIS Online. I have been testing with the sample code found on the "Create web map by ID" page:

http://developers.arcgis.com/en/javascript/jssamples/ags_createwebmapid.html

If I download that and try to run it in Firefox, without making any changes, then the map does not show up and I get the following error reported in Firebug:

Error: Unable to load the base map layer
[Break On This Error] 
...);}},_getKind:function(_2ff){var _300=this._trackManager;if(_300){return _300.is...
utils.js (line 19)

The sample runs fine on the http://developers.arcgis.com/ site, I'm not sure why it would be failing for me. I am not accessing the web through a proxy.

Thanks.

  • I tried that, but it didn't work. I'm still getting the same issue on the base map layer. Commented Apr 10, 2013 at 16:12

    Can you get other samples to work on your test platform? Different browsers? Commented Apr 10, 2013 at 16:23
  • I also tested in IE and Chrome. I did try the sample for developers.arcgis.com/en/javascript/jssamples/map_simple.html and that one is working correctly. However, it is not using an ArcGIS Online map. Commented Apr 10, 2013 at 16:56
  • What about this one where you "Create web map using JSON"? Not using a proxy there either, but it does reference a base map... developers.arcgis.com/en/javascript/jssamples/… Commented Apr 10, 2013 at 22:36
  • That one is working also. I'm trying to figure out why I'm getting the different behavior. Commented Apr 11, 2013 at 19:47

I was able to find an ArcGIS forum post for a similar issue:

http://forums.arcgis.com/threads/54811-Proxy-page-error-using-editor-widgit

The directions for creating a proxy page for viewing ArcGIS Online maps can be found here:
