much smaller and quicker trip than if you refreshed the whole page.
If it's just a calculation do it in CF - there's no reason to involve
anything else. (If you're having trouble with the calc you know where to
post. ;^) )
The Gif-as-a-pipe and PengoWorks stuff are really more appropriate to those
times when you need (or just would like) the client and the server to
interact without a full page refresh. For example you might start
validating a customer's credit card while their still filling out shipping
information. You need the client (to get the information) and the server
(to verify the card) - you could do it with two pages, but using this stuff
could also do it with one page and multiple "hidden" trips to the server.

Subject: RE: JS Variable into CF - Jim
Interesting, Jim. The PengoWorks thing is, indeed, neat. It reminds me of
what flash does, but it's actually making a trip to the server each time
rather than caching, right?
Hmm, the gif pipe is also a way I could go, but I am now wondering if CF
can't handle this simple calculation without having to use JS at all.
