One thing I forgot to mention. If you use the below method, then you'd reference the values on the ColdFusion page in the URL scope.
URL.key1 URL.key2 Etc. If you need a POST then you'd just change the var references to the FORM scope, and change $.get to $.post andy -----Original Message----- From: Andy Matthews [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Friday, January 22, 2010 9:15 AM To: cf-talk Subject: RE: AJAX Question Bear in mind that you do not insert values into a database with AJAX. AJAX is merely way to pass said values to the processing page of your choice without page refresh. So assuming you know how to do a database insert with ColdFusion, you'd just need to know how to pass the values from your client code to your ColdFusion page. jQuery makes this very simple: $.get("http://www.yoursite.com/path/to/coldfusion/file.cfm";, { // here's the key value pairs you want to pass in your request key1: 'value one', key2: 'value two', key3: 'value three' },function(data){ // if your processing page will be passing data BACK to your client page // then you'd do something with that data here. }); -----Original Message----- From: Matthew Allen [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Friday, January 22, 2010 8:48 AM To: cf-talk Subject: AJAX Question Can anyone please give me pointers or real life example of how to insert simple form field values into a database using AJAX.
