Rick,
So, lets crawl before we walk here. This should help you understand using
load() with CF basics.
-----------------------------------
On your form page:
<script src="js/jquery.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
$(function(){
$("#realtor").change( function() {
var realtor_id = $(this).val();
$("#mycfpagecontent").load("mycfpage.cfm?realtor=" + realtor_id);
});
});
</script>
<select id="realtor">
<option value="1">Matt</option>
<option value="2">Jacqui</option>
<option value="3">Julie</option>
</select>
<div id="mycfpagecontent"></div>
-----------------------------------
Then on your query page: mycfpage.cfm
<cfquery name="get_realtor_info" datasource="myrealtordata">
SELECT fname, lname
FROM realtorsdb
WHERE id = #URL.realtor#
</cfquery>
<cfdump var="#get_realtor_info#">
-----------------------------------
Once you get this, then your doing Ajax on CF.
Then go to http://www.365labs.net/cf_jquery/jquery_coldfusion_quickstart.htm
After that, your to Rob Gonda's ajaxCFC.. Then you're all set!
Hope that helps!

Hmmm. trying to put this into action, but I'm not straight on how to do it.
I figured what you meant was to create two pages. one page would have
the ajax line you wrote out and the other would the mycfpage.cfm
I have a query on the mycfpage.cfm.
<CFQUERY Name="Get_Data" Datasource="Bodaford" MaxRows="1">
Select Title, Text
from announcements
</CFQUERY>
.along with the page HTML, body, head tags, etc. (or should it just have
the query?)
Now I'm not sure how you want me to put the jQuery code on a page that
I called ajax_test.cfm. Should the line you wrote out go in the body "as
is"
or should it be written out in the head section with the
$(document).ready(function() {, etc
around it?
You can tell, I'm new to both jQuery and ajax!
I appreciate your help!

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
