By the way, Mike Alsup just released a new plugin for jQuery called taconite that blends some of the best of CF and jQuery. Traditional ajax programming, for more complex operations such as building tables, interacting with DOM elements, etc. requires quite a bit of work and occasionally multiple operations to do what you need. Taconite is a nice bridge - I'll let him explain further: http://www.malsup.com/jquery/taconite/
BTW, with this method you can get by with using $.ajax() as he describes, pulling the taconite objects straight from a .cfm page. I still use ajaxCFC to handle the ajax side because I like the flexibility of going with whichever method is best suited for the job and because I like keeping specific functions wrapped in component methods.
