Does ArcOnline provide a map service?

I'm trying to utilize the JavaScript code samples with the feature service I created in ArcGIS online.  I need a map service. 

When you publish a service to ArcOnline is there a way to create both a "map service" and a "feature service".  The only think I can see is the "feature service".

What is the map service definition (it does not see to point to a "map service")?

From the ArcGIS.com website and with a subscription, you can take a shapefile or CSV and create a feature serivce from the data. At the present time, the only way to create a hosted tiled map service is to publish it from ArcGIS Desktop. What functionlality is the JavaScript sample doing? There are some differences between hosted map services and map services published to ArcGIS Server. ArcGIS Server map services have a "dynamic" mapping capability where images are generated on the fly, and also they support queries against the data. Hosted map services don't support queries, because they consist of just the tiles. However, if you've created a hosted feature service along with the hosted tiled map service, then the feature service can support queries.

Thanks,

Mike

I am trying to use the JavaScript sample "Show Find Task results in DataGrid".

I need to query the data. 

I published a feature service in ArcGIS online but I don't see any sample (JavaScript) that allow this type of query via a feature service.  I would prefer an off-the-shelf solution over writing my own JavaScript from scratch.

Basically if I can't query/find info, the ArcGIS online option won't work for me and it will be back to trying to talk my employee into purchasing a server. We do have an ArcGIS group subscription/account.
