CF is a server-side language, while JavaScript is a client-side language. As long as you have a data interchange format (JSON, XML, etc.) that both support, you're golden. Some toolkits, like GWT or DWR (not on your list), are centered around a more unified server/client side application and force your hand on both sides of the interchange, but in general, the two halves are pretty distinct from each other.
Short answer: pick whatever you want - using CF on the server side is nearly irrelevant. cheers, barneyb On Wed, Mar 19, 2008 at 7:49 PM, Ali <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Hi: I decided to use a JS library/framework to enhance the UI of my sites.
