Below Code Not working to find duplicate values using jquery

Question

The code below is not working, it should find duplicate values using jQuery:

$().SPServices({
    operation: "GetListItems",
    listName: "Questions",
    async: false,
    CAMLQery: query,
    completefunc: function(xData,status)
        {
            $(xDataresponseXML).find("\\z:row").each(function()
                {
                    var duid-$(this).attr("ID");
                        if(i==duid)
                            {
                                alert("Found");
                            }

                 });   
         }

});

A small example to get the items, show them, find duplicates and show the unique ones:

<script type="text/javascript">

  $(document).ready(function () {

  var items = {};

  $().SPServices({
  operation: "GetListItems",
  async: false,
  listName: "Cities",
  CAMLViewFields: "<ViewFields><FieldRef Name='Title' /></ViewFields>",
  completefunc: function (xData, Status) {
  $(xData.responseXML).find("[nodeName='z:row']").each(function () {
  var title = $(this).attr("ows_Title");
  $("#results").append(title);

  if(items[title])
  $this.remove();
  else
  items[title]=true;

  });
  }
  });


  $.each(items,
  function (value) {
  $("#noduplicates").append(value);
  });


  });

</script>
<div id="results">
</div>

<br />
<br />
<br />

<div id="noduplicates"></div>

I used a simple custom list named 'Cities' and added no extra columns, just used the Title field. When entering a duplicates value into the Title column, this item will show in the div 'results', but not in the div 'noduplicates'. I think this example will help you build your solution.

What are you trying to accomplish?

Just by looking I have the following remarks:

• There is a - after var duid, shouldn't that be an =?
• What value has i? Where is it set?
