I don't have anything publically available at the moment, but it's pretty
straightforward. For example, to update a div (Status) with a query
recordcount, then dump the results of that query into a table (ListBody) on
the same page, the client side is as simple as:
function updateList() {
$.AjaxCFC({
url: "/some.cfc",
method: "GetContacts",
data: jsListObj,
success: function(data){
$.taconite(data);
}
});
}
The jsListObj could also be a form field value, array or whatever. It is
kind of nice to pass a structure (js object) to ajaxCFC so you can use named
arguments though.
Server side could be:
<cffunction name="GetContacts" output="no" access="private">
<cfset list = arguments>
<cfquery name="GetData" datasource="#DSN#">
SELECT fields
FROM database
WHERE name LIKE '%#list.name#%'
</cfquery>
<cfsavecontent variable="taconite">
<taconite>
<replaceContent
select="#Status"><cfoutput>#getData.recordCount#</cfoutput></replaceContent>
<replaceContent select="#ListBody">
<cfoutput query="getData">
<tr><td align="left">#xmlformat(field1)#</td><td
align="left">#xmlformat(field2)#</td><td
align="center">#xmlformat(field3)#</td><td></td></tr>
</cfoutput>
</replaceContent>
</taconite>
</cfsavecontent>
<cfreturn taconite />
</cffunction>
If you need a formal, functioning example I can whip something up - let me
know.
