Well, actually, once you go AJAX, you kinda want it everywhere. It truly is a different way of doing stuff than the old "static" way. What's that quote... we're just now getting back to where we were 10 years ago, UI wise.... something like that. And... AJAX IS a display technology. Is JavaScript and XML doing the > backend work?

Much as how CFML is only a conduit to and from Java, or BASIC is only a conduit to and from machine language (which, java ends up as too, so I guess CF is a conduit conduit ;)? What I struggle with is "how, with the least amount of work, do I make this code function for html,flash,webservices, PDAs, distributed environments", etc., etc..? It's brain expanding to think like that. And is it really possible? Do you always get to the point where the plane should be a fighter or a bomber (to reference a nifty book I once read)? See, if you got a fighter/bomber, it's generally not as good as either A) fighter or B) bomber. LOL. I'm such a dork. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Upgrade to Adobe ColdFusion MX7 The most significant release in over 10 years.
