I've been thinking on the same subject, but haven't had time to play with
it yet.
What about using FORM element values (value=' 'or text or hidden) for a
limited means of passing variables. Both HTML (the JS DOM) and CF access
that data directly at different times, but maybe on different sides of the
server. var X = form.element.value should pick up a variable set by CF
..... form.element.value = 'X' should set it for CF to grab on the next
trip to the server. Is there a better way to do this?
What about passing data in structures or arrays. Anyone given that any
thought?
I did see a piece somewhere on using WDDX to pass variables to JS or vice
versa, but if it still takes a trip to the server to do it, why not just
use the FORM elements?
