I haven’t noticed a font-size increase, can you provide details about what you are seeing? For example, is the font larger on a particular widget?
wgm – Thanks for the details. It looks like the Claro theme in Dojo 1.5 automatically over-wrote some of the application styles like font-size and font-family. At 1.6 it looks like this is no longer the case and now the font-family and styles in the sample style sheet are applied.
A quick fix for this would be to replace the body style in the application with the following:
body {
background-color: white;
font-family: Verdana,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;
font-size: 0.68em;
overflow: hidden;
}
This should make the application look the same in v2.2 and v2.3.

Thanks for posting the updated fix Chris – that’s a much cleaner solution.
Where there any changes made to the way the draw toolbar works when drawing an extent?
In earlier versions you could draw an extent that was basically a point, I was using this for a get info tool, but it doesn’t work anymore in 2.3.
Yes if you only click once for non-point features then a shape is not created. Is there a reason why you aren’t activating the draw toolbar with a Point instead of an extent?
Attempted local setup of 2.3 API – didn’t work
Setup local 2.2 API to test ok & worked fine.
However when linking to a project to local 2.3, get error in firebug:
4.replaceClass is not a function
[Break On This Error] window[esri._dojoScopeName||"dojo"]._x…uild or the web build tool”);}}};});
Yes, I was using it to make a get info tool where the user could select either a point or an extent, it works fine in 2.1 and 2.2. I guess I’ll have to find a new solution.
Does js api 2.3 work in Arcgis Server 9.3?
Is there any compatible issue？
