Solution or Workaround

1. Make sure to access the Web page through a URL on a Web server, not as a file.
2. Check the API key in the application for typing errors.
3. Use lowercase letters, when registering the URL on the ArcWeb site: http://www.arcwebservices.com/v2006/account/account_register_url.do
   
   For example:
   http://www.arcwebservices.com/Custom_Application
   is properly written as:
   http://www.arcwebservices.com/custom_application
   
   
4. Make sure that the URL of the application is registered:
   http://www.arcwebservices.com/v2006/account/account_register_url.do
5. If the JavaScript API is used in a form, such as ASPX and SharePoint, follow the instructions in this sample:
