comment ESRI ArcGIS JSAPI 3.4 Defect when setting LODS on a map. How to fix?
For a map with only dynamic layers, you'll have to use LODs. I've confirmed we've fixed this at 3.5 (due out in the next couple of days).

comment Can we insert arbitrary HTML layers the ESRI ArcGIS JavaScript API?
@SebastianGood can you add more specifics of what you'd like to do? I wouldn't recommend trying to roll your own layer from scratch. The canvas with raster layer is a good example of a custom layer that inherits from the generic Layer class: developers.arcgis.com/en/javascript/jssamples/…

comment ArcGIS JavaScript API geometry service offline capabilities
No client side identify (which is querying across multiple layers). You can do basic querying on a per-layer basis if your query filter is by object ID, an extent or by time. More complex where clause querying is not available purely client side.

Awesome, any intention to publish that anywhere? Github is the obvious choice.

Where does Esri indicate that the WebTiledLayer will show Google imagery? (I work for Esri on the JS API team.)

comment Trouble with accesing API code: “ReferenceError: esri is not defined”
@Badmagis as shown in all the SDK samples, wrap your JS that uses esri.* classes in a function called by dojo.ready, for instance: help.arcgis.com/en/webapi/javascript/arcgis/jssamples/#sample/…

comment ArcGIS Javascript API 3.3 - Changing Layer Definitions / Refresh Not Behaving
Please post the code you're using. Are you trying to set layerDefinitions directly? Or are you using the layer's setLayerDefinitions method? The latter is what you should be doing. help.arcgis.com/en/webapi/javascript/arcgis/jsapi/…

comment Trouble with accesing API code: “ReferenceError: esri is not defined”
Please post code to reproduce the issue. It is almost certainly that you're referencing something in the esri namespace before the API is loaded.

comment Chart inside pop up window in Javascript
Yes, should be possible. My example is hardcoded to use 50 as the value for the chart but you could do anything you like inside the function that creates the chart.
