Cfajax is probably handling all the DOM stuff in the background. It manages variables and simple arrays, and there is some ability to pass queries, but I didn't go there as getting tricky with arrays allowed me enough flexibility to go where I needed to go. With XML, I passed that into the CFC, manipulated it, and passed out what the Javascript was expecting.
