In what context does the timer run? Each field will have its own timer/ajax
function. If I have multiple text fields, and people are typing and tabbing
through them quickly the updates still need to happen reliably.
Currently it works like this:
$(document).ready( function() {
$('[EMAIL PROTECTED]').each( function() {
$(this).blur( function() {
$.AjaxCFC({url: "/namechangedtoprotecttheinnocent.cfc",
method:
"updateAttendee", data:
{fid:this.id,field:this.id.split("_")[0],id:this.id.split("_")[1],value:this.value},
success: function(r){$('#'+r).css("backgroundColor","#ddFFdd");}});
$(this).css("backgroundColor","#FFdddd");
});
});
});
