Michael... You probably shouldn't be using cfdump on your output page. That includes loads of javascript, extra styles and lots of HTML crap. You'd be better off using cfoutput or calling your CFC directly.

CF or jQuery? 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!

Subject: Re: [jQuery] Best way to do AJAX... CF or jQuery? 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 From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Michael E. Carluen Sent: Thursday, February 22, 2007 9:01 PM To: 'jQuery Discussion.' Subject: Re: [jQuery] Best way to do AJAX... CF or jQuery? 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
