Something like the PengoWorks JS Client/Server API is exactly what you're looking for - it'll allow you to do anything you want on the call back to the server (including invoking a component then formatting the data) and then return those results via JS.

I've got a few 'data master' CFCs, which are accessible already as webservices, and exist as single-point-entry gateways to master databases here, such as Employees, Equipment, and Facilities. Each of them returns an abstracted version of the vendor-specific record format, which can be re-related easily should a db upgrade happen-- sort of a data access layer to the applications I'm working on. Now I have need to consume the webservice through JavaScript: there's a facility lookup subform in a form with a different data goal. I don't want to submit the page for the facility lookup, especially considering that this webservice exists. I've seen it done, and I've downloaded Microsoft's webservice.htc "DHTML behavior" but I'm kind of stuck as to how to support it outside IE. Any pointers? Thanks, ecd. -- Eric C.
