FindTask reporting "unable to complete operation"

BryanKaraffa · ‎05-07-2012

Hi all,

I am trying to figure out what is wrong with my FindTask script.. I used a sample and made changed 2 lines where appropriate and it is not working as intended..... I really am at a dead end here and was hoping for your help..
"
Ultimately, I'd like to be able to type "ANTH 121" or any other class in the field and have it return the values as it should but I just get the error "Error: Unable to complete operation."

My code:

        params.searchFields = ["courseTitle","fullTitle"];
      }

      function doFind() {
        params.searchText = dojo.byId("searchText").value;
        find.execute(params, showResults, alert);
      }

      function showResults(results) {
        var result, attribs;
        var s = ["<table border=\"1\"><thead><tr style=\"background-color:#ccc;\"><td>Course Title</td><td>Full Title</td><td>Primary Title</td><td>Location</td></tr></thead><tbody id=\"states\">"];
        dojo.forEach(results,function(result){
          attribs = result.feature.attributes;
           s.push("<tr><td>" + attribs.courseTitle + "</td><td>" + attribs.fullTitle + "</td><td>" + attribs.primaryTitle + "</td><td>" + attribs.location + "</td></tr>");
        });
        s.push("</tbody></table>");
        dojo.byId("tbl").innerHTML = s.join("");
      }

      dojo.addOnLoad(init);

Problem solved! Can't do a FindTask query on a layer sourced from a .xls spreadsheet.
