Marc, first of all, thanks for your great work with SPServices!!
Just wanted to inform you that I also spent some time investigating why SPFindPeoplePicker function didn't want to work for me. Then I discovered that the cause was exactly the same as described bychrisrwebb. The reason for that is that we copied the example from the$().SPServices.SPFindPeoplePicker documentation page. The syntax on that page is ok, but the example code is:
var salesRep = $().findPeoplePicker({
peoplePickerDisplayName: "Sales Rep",
valueToSet:"APPTIX\\emullerbeck53"
});
which of course doesn't work. Just wanted to inform you so you might correct the example in order to make it easier (read: working in the first try) for other "lazy" people like me who just copy the example... :)
Tina.
