Are you binding to an AJAX call or a local array? If binding to local array, I agree the timeout you specify should allow a smaller amount. However, when dealing w/AJAX calls you've got to be extremely careful that you don't flood the server with AJAX calls. This would be easy to due if you set the timeout too low. The problem with CFMX 8 adding lots of AJAX functionality is developers don't have to have understand what's going on behind the scenes. I think it's extremely important that Web Developers really understand AJAX and the potential server issues you introduce implementing lots of AJAX on a site. That's not a knock on AJAX and I think it's great Adobe has made great strides to make implementing complex DHTML easy to use--it's just I think it's extremely important to really understand what's going on behind the scenes. Where I'm going with this is that it wouldn't surprise me if Adobe purposely was trying to limit users from setting an obscurely low delay speed--since it could have serious impact on the server. However, that's only an issue if you're binding to an AJAX call. -Dan ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Get the answers you are looking for on the ColdFusion Labs Forum direct from active programmers and developers. http://www.adobe.com/cfusion/webforums/forum/categories.cfm?forumid-72&catid=648 Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/message.cfm/messageid:285480 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=11502.10531.4
