Rick,
You need both. You use jQuery to send requests to a server side scripting
language like CF (or php, asp, cgi, etc) .
Perhaps the simplest way to introduce yourself to an "ajax" activity would
be to use jQuery's load() function.
Try this:
$("##displaycfoutput").load("mycfpage.cfm?param1=#something#¶m2=#somethi
ngelse#");
On your mycfpage.cfm, put a database query using the URL vars your passed.
Hope that helps.
Michael

Subject: [jQuery] Best way to do AJAX... CF or jQuery?
A question for you CF & jQuery coders.
What's the best (easiest) way to work with AJAX?
ColdFusion or jQuery?
Why?
I would appreciate your insights.I haven't used AJAX, yet,
but I'm really interested in trying to figure it out. It would
be especially useful in some of the web-based apps that I'm
building that would be used in place of traditional software.
Being able to avoid page changes and page refreshes would
go a long way in helping me sell people on the apps.
Rick
