FWIW, last time I tried using the built in ajax stuff ( a loooong time ago) I actually it found it less hassle and easier to just do it in Jquery. I just could not get the built in stuff working properly, getting things to display inside the CFDIV's and stuff I think was the issue, simply wouldn't display properly. So while it is meant to make it easier and quicker, I think in many cases it has the opposite result.
