>- see footer for list info -< Russ, funny you mention AJAX since the array is used to create a complex series of AJAX driven menus! The 3D js array must be coded into each page (I've now created a custom tag so CF can pass it to a js function and render menus) but CF is still dumb as to what the js array actually means.
Incidently, I'd never use CFAJAX or similar libs because AJAX itself is nothing more than 10 lines of straight forward javascript. CFAJAX is like 100x more complex and bloaty than what any single function actually requires. I know it's supposed to make Ajax simple for people to use, but I found it far simpler to code it myself - as if there's this big cloud of mystery surrounding Ajax when it's nothing more than a background HTTP GET/POST function. Ade - javascript doesn't understand lists unless I use multiple splice(?) functions which will make the 'array' hard to read, and then I'd have to recode every line where I've referenced the array. Will toy will the idea. :-) Gary.
