'Xactly. ;^) YODEL doesn't have any internal infrastructure for data transfer - you'd need something like CFAJAX (or whatever else you like) to actually pass the data around. The next release of the CF and JS serializers (which should be out soon since I'm on vacation this week) will also add in some automation for Objects/CFCs. I think this will work like this (I'm still building it, this is the theory): 1) You build a CFC-representation of the object your need. For example a drop down list might be represented as an array of structs (each struct an option). 2) The (soon to be released) CF YODEL serializer will automatically generate the value of the "Custom" attribute based on the name of the CFC. 3) You generate a YODEL custom handler for that custom data type in JavaScript. For example a function which takes an array of objects (structs) an generates an array of Option objects. >From that point on the act of deserialization will also generate your Option objects automatically. Both the JavaScript and the CF YODEL implementations already support custom handlers - I just want to automate them based on the object name. Once that's done I'd like to start a canned library of handlers to make implementation even easier.
