yes, Gary, thankyou. >> render the XML as a string into a "generated" JS section of the page and have JS then create an XML DOM from it. ...sounds like what I'm after. thanx again barry.b -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Gary Menzel Sent: Monday, 6 December 2004 5:35 PM To: CFAussie Mailing List Subject: [cfaussie] Re: load CF generated xml doc into JS If you are using a data island (a la <xml>) then why not use a "toString" type of thing on the XML document in CFMX and just output it between the data island tags? Although - I have read both the original and the restated version - and I am not sure I completely understand what you are trying to do either. If I restate it again myself in more general terms...... You want a CFMX variable passed over to a JS variable. You used the term "data island" so I would immediately say "Render the contents of the data island with CFMX as a string and then read it in JS from the data island". If that doesn't work, then render the XML as a string into a "generated" JS section of the page and have JS then create an XML DOM from it. It is even possible to create an XML data island and give it a SRC attribute (which I am guessing could be a CFMX page) and have the data island imported that way - then manipulate the XML DOM from JS. Any of these options make any sense against what you are trying to do ?
