As far as lessening the learning curve, definitely use one of the JS libraries. jQuery is great. I have been using Spry the last week or so and I really like it a *lot*. It is really easy to use and is rolled into DW CS3 and CS4, as well as Aptana. I have been able to do some really cool stuff with very little code with both Spry and jQuery. ~G~ On Mon, Nov 10, 2008 at 7:58 PM, Charlie Griefer <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>wrote: > On Mon, Nov 10, 2008 at 4:51 PM, Don <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > > Should I look into the built-in Ajax stuff with cf8 or go with a > > third party like JQuery? > > > > If you're comfortable with JavaScript, I'd recommend the jQuery method. > > The CF AJAX stuff shields you from having to write JS... which I guess > is a good thing if you don't know it and don't have a desire to learn > it.
