Sorry, the problem, persist. I also have to apologize, that after my first posting I introduced the array mylayer to see if I needed to push the layer into an array. So going back to the first posting, the problem persist either way. The question is that if console.log can show the layer name as a string without the indexOf, why do we need to try to convert it to a string per your suggestion? THANK YOU for your time. array.forEach(this.map.graphicsLayerIds, function(layerId) {              var layer = this.map.getLayer(layerId);    if((layer.name).indexOf("Buffer") > -1){    console.log(layer.name);    }          }, this);  array.forEach(this.map.graphicsLayerIds, function(layerId) {              var layer = this.map.getLayer(layerId);    if(layer.name.toString().indexOf("Buffer") > -1){    console.log(layer.name);    }          }, this);  ...

Thank Robert. But I got the same error: array.forEach(this.map.graphicsLayerIds, function(layerId) {             layer = this.map.getLayer(layerId);   mylayer.push(layer);         }, this);    for(j=0;j<mylayer.length; j++){   if(layer.name.toString().indexOf("Buffer") > -1){            console.log(mylayer.name);       }   } ...

I haven't got to it yet. I got distracted to other duties. Will let you know when I do so. ... View more

I just copied the code you gave me and I got this. This is bizarre. One of the screenshot (see below), shows the first tab with the field names and the second tab without the field names.  So, I placed in the "theselectInBuffer"  a console.log and it was called twice, and hence calling the attribute table twice. selectInBuffer: function (results) {         array.map(results, lang.hitch(this, function(feature){           this.thelayer.add(feature);         }));   console.log("sign1");         this._openResultInAttributeTable(this.thelayer);       }, output: ...

yes, i agree. Thank you for you kind words and your time. I have an observation. The selectInBuffer is called twice, creating two tabs on the Attribute table, one is with the field names and one one without it. Thank you again. ... View more

Ok. Here you go. The ultimate goal is to pass on the thislayer to the _openResultInAttributeTable so it can publish the table with the query results. As you can see from the line 276, the layer has the layer name, however the _openResultInAttributeTable cannot access it. The second issue is how to pass on the featureSet of the quesry results to the feature collection. When I including it it causes the Converting circular structure to JSON error. Thank you. ...

Ok. I didn't want to post a long script. I will create a smaller version of it and test it again. If still has problems, I will post it Thank you for your commitment helping others. ... View more

Sorry to drag it on, but it is confusing. Why do I need to assign a name to the layerinfo when it already has it? I verified it by using the code below. So by declaring layerDefinition: layerInfo, in the featurecollection the name should be passed on as well since I will use the same layerinfo for the new featurelayer as the myurl. However it is not passed on when a featurelayer is created using that feature collection. What am I  missing here? Thank you for your patience.   esriRequest({   url: myurl,   content: {   f: 'json'   },   handleAs: 'json',   callbackParamName: 'callback'   }).then(lang.hitch(this, function (layerInfo) {   console.log(layerInfo.name);  //name is printed in console                  } ...

Thank you. It seems that the featureSet was causing the error. But how do I define the new layer based on the query selection. By defining the  featureSet: null then the selection is null. Also, when I pass on thislayer to the _openResultInAttributeTable function, I get the error that it cannot read the 'name' of undefined even though the currentlayer is not null! _openResultInAttributeTable: function (currentLayer) {          var aLayer = {            layerObject: currentLayer,            title: currentLayer.name,            id: currentLayer.id,            getLayerObject: function () {              var def = new Deferred();              if (this.layerObject) {                def.resolve(this.layerObject);              } else {                def.reject("layerObject is null");  ------------ --------- ...

I modified it but still get the same error.   mapServiceUrl= <map service>;   var requestHandle = esriRequest({             "url": dojo.replace("{0}/layers",[mapServiceUrl]),             "content": {               "f": "json"             },             "callbackParamName": "callback"         });        requestHandle.then(lang.hitch(this, function(response){   dojo.forEach(response.layers, function(layerInfo) {                               console.log(layerInfo); //checking layer name                        if(layerInfo.fields) {                               dojo.forEach(layerInfo.fields, function(fieldInfo) {   console.log(fieldInfo); //checking fields                             });              }   myfields =layerInfo.fields;         });        }));         var featureCollection = {           "layerDefinition": null,           "featureSet": {             "features": [],             "geometryType": "esriGeometryPoint"           }         };   layerDefinition = {           "geometryType": "esriGeometryPoint",           "objectIdField": "ObjectID",             "field": [myfields]   };   var featureCollection = {   layerDefinition: layerDefinition,   featureSet: featureSet   };    var thislayer = new esri.layers.FeatureLayer(featureCollection);   }, ...
