You cant break the string into individual arguments. It will be one argument that contains a string with comma separated values, which can be easily handled with CFs list functions. I'm not sure what you want to do with them in your CFC, but you can loop through the values like so:
<cfloop list="#arguments.specialIDList#" index="local.loopIndex"> ... here you have access to each value individually to work with.... </cfloop> On Thu, Jan 16, 2014 at 2:11 PM, Rick Faircloth <[email protected]>wrote: > > Hold the horses! > > I changed the join from: > > specialIDList.join(); > > to: > > var specialIDList = specialIDList.join(); > > and it worked! > > I think the var, specialIDList, was not available to the ajax function > since it was being recreated > in the .each loop. > > So, now do I have to loop over the multiple variables in specialIDList on > the server side with CF > in order to break the string into individual arguments? > > > > > On Thu, Jan 16, 2014 at 2:07 PM, Rick Faircloth <[email protected] > >wrote: > > > Hi, Steve... > > > > I just gave that a try, but still get an error in Firebug: > > "500 Element SPECIALIDLIST is undefined in ARGUMENTS" > > > > Also, in the console, I still get what appears to be the same when I use > > console.log(specialIDLlist): > > [ "27", "28", "26" ]. > > > > Perhaps something is missing on the cfc method side?
