Charlie and Ray, You can't do what he wants without something like Ajax. He is passing the UPC to a query and then doing something with the results in JavaScript. Yes, you can create JS vars with CF, but if you want to hit your DB like he's attempting, you'd use ajax or flash remoting.
And comon', ajax is not very hard. To do what he wants with ajaxCFC would mean dropping the core files in, creating a basic CFC including his cfquery, and then cfreturn the result. I'd imagine it's similar in mxajax. > -----Original Message----- > From: Charlie Griefer [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: Tuesday, November 14, 2006 11:42 AM > To: CF-Talk > Subject: Re: Mixing CF and JavaScript. > > yeah, that's why I threw in the mention of AJAX, but really didn't > pursue that as the solution.
