You will end up realizing that the best way to achieve this is by using a
java server program that allows you to handle multiple clients updating the
same component. If you need a chat service and don't want to spend a lot of
time developing your own java server, try chatspace.com . The interface is
totally customizable and easy to integrate into your ColdFusion pages
(that's the way I solved this problem)

Subject: Re: Using javascript to update Application variables
Here's the situation. I am creating a chat room. right now when a user wants
to post a message, that triggers a CF script which updates the application
variable and then the page is reloaded. reloading the page isn't visually
appealing in this situation, so I was hoping to be able to write a
JavaScript function that does everything my CF page does. I can use
JavaScript to update the textarea with the new value but that doesn't really
help other people see that new value
thanks for all your help so far
