In the same vein as Ajax implementations, you can filter on the client
or the server.  

For the former, your cfc would receive an optional input which would
limit the results returned.  The records would be fetched from the
server every time new filtering was applied.

The latter would involve some ActionScript and looping.  Basically you
would loop over the results and populate the grid with the matching data
without hitting the server again.

The first option results in more network traffic, but easier to
implement, and will probably perform better if you are dealing with a
lot of records.

Subject: Filtering with a session variable in CFGRID and Paging

Ok guys....

Here is a beginners question.  I'm just beginning to dive into CFGRIDS  
and bindings and can't figure out what is most certainly an easy  
issue.  I have a data grid populated with data from a CFC.  Works  
great.  How do I add an additional argument to filter down the query  
results?  In this case, I want to filter down by the  
session.user.userid variable that is set.
