Any remote call to a CFC will return WDDX (unless otherwise specified). You could serialize the JS object into JSON, then pass it to ColdFusion as a struct.

I have a lovely cfgrid populated by binding it to a CFC. Everything works great. I have some 'filters' that let the users filter the data in the grid. Now the client has asked to have a 'download grid data to excel.' I've done this many times in the past - just not with AJAX data. Now I am stuck. The data is in a javascript object, which I'd like to convert to a coldfusion object. I've tried statements like <cfset cfData=DeserializeJSON(theData)> and I've set 'theData' via javascript like var theData= ColdFusion.Grid.getGridObject('resource_list'); But I keep getting errors on variable theData not found. a) if I don't specify returnFormat in my CFC, what format does cfgrid data come back as? (JSON, WDDX?). b) how can I convert the javascript object into a coldfusion object? c) or should I be doing something totally different :-) I am missing something -- help/suggestions much appreciated!
