Find
This sample demonstrates how to use find to search for records in a map service, then display the results in an HTML table.
Although find does not require you to display a map, it requires a URL to an ArcGIS Server map service. FindParameters restricts the search to only the areaname
field of the Cities layer (index 0).
When you click the Find button, the function d
reads the input box and uses it as the search text. The find is then executed:
The results are returned as an array of FindResult objects. These are graphics, which have attributes that you can retrieve through syntax such as result.feature.attributes.AREANAME
. After find completes, the callback function showResults() loops through these features and constructs an HTML table from their attributes.
