we are $().SPServices.SPCascadeDropdowns  for cascading. Suddenly it stopped working. now I want to use another option of using SPServices with CAML query to display the projects based on Employee selected. Something like this

     $().SPServices({
                         operation: "GetListItems",
                         async: false,
                         listName: "Project Allocation",                    
                         CAMLRowLimit: 1,
                         CAMLQuery: "<Query><Where><Eq><FieldRef Name='Employee' /><Value Type='Lookup'>" + thisUserAccount  + "</Value></Eq></Where></Query>",   
                         CAMLViewFields:"<ViewFields><FieldRef Name='Project' /></ViewFields>"  ,
                         completefunc:null,
                         debug:true
                         });

but I am not able to filter.I am new to SPServices. please guide me for this
