To me, that's kind of like asking "Is it a good idea to use a database in my application?"
If you need something to happen on the server, then use CF. If you need processing to happen on the client, use JavaScript. If you want the JavaScript to be dependent on the outcome of CF code, then you dynamically produce the necessary JS in your CF or write JavaScript capable of executing appropriately based on the return of an Ajax call. It's not really that one is better, it's that they both have their place. ~Brad -------- Original Message -------- Subject: Re: Is it possible to use a CF variable in jQuery?
