This is pretty straightforward. You want to set up an event listener on a dom node (or nodes) and call a method to pan the map. Here's an example, pertinent code in red:<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8">
<meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=7" />
<meta name="viewport" content="initial-scale=1, maximum-scale=1,user-scalable=no"/>
<title>Topographic Map</title>
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="http://serverapi.arcgisonline.com/jsapi/arcgis/2.2/js/dojo/dijit/themes/claro/claro.css">
<style>
html, body {
height: 100%;
width: 100%;
margin: 0;

#map{
padding:0;
}
#panMap {
position: absolute;
left: 10px;
bottom: 10px;
width: 200px;
height: 50px;
background-color: #444;

dojo.require("dijit.layout.BorderContainer");
dojo.require("dijit.layout.ContentPane");
dojo.require("esri.map");
var map, resizeTimer;
function init() {
var initExtent = new esri.geometry.Extent({"xmin":-13632648,"ymin":4542594,"xmax":-13621699,"ymax":4546875,"spatialReference":{"wkid":102100}});
map = new esri.Map("map",{extent:initExtent});
var basemap = new esri.layers.ArcGISTiledMapServiceLayer("http://server.arcgisonline.com/ArcGIS/rest/services/World_Topo_Map/MapServer");
map.addLayer(basemap);
dojo.connect(map, 'onLoad', function(theMap) {
dojo.connect(dijit.byId('map'), 'resize', function() { //resize the map if the div is resized
clearTimeout(resizeTimer);
console.log('resize');
resizeTimer = setTimeout( function() {
map.resize();
map.reposition();
}, 500);
});
});
dojo.connect(dojo.byId('panMap'), 'onmouseover', function() {
map.panLeft();
});
}
dojo.addOnLoad(init);

</head>
<body class="claro">
<div dojotype="dijit.layout.BorderContainer" design="headline" gutters="false" style="width: 100%; height: 100%; margin: 0;">
<div id="map" dojotype="dijit.layout.ContentPane" region="center" style="border:1px solid #000;padding:0;">
<div id="panMap">
mouse over to pan left/west
</div>
</div>
</div>
</body>
</html>Note that the event listener is set up after the map loads. Also, JavaScript, not Java 🙂
