Derek,Thank you! That worked. So, based on Derek's information, here is the portion that I changed. I replaced esri.request with dojo.xhrGet and totally removed the {useProxy: true} parameter. var requestHandle = dojo.xhrGet({
url: url.path,
content: url.query,
handleAs: "text",
load: requestSucceeded,
error: requestFailed
});
Thanks again - I have been primarily coding with Flex API so the javascript API is new territory -- you saved me a lot of time.Carmen
