I just got a working example of Ajax (XMLHTTP request) working on my farcry site.
For those of you who don't know what Ajax or XMLHTTP request is, it is a method for using javascript to retrieive information from the server without a page refresh. It's very cool and what makes gmail, google maps and google suggest so cool. Read more about it here. http://www.adaptivepath.com/publications/essays/archives/000385.php So, I just got this working but its not very integrated with farcry and I wanted to get some feedback on a better way to work with farcry on this. Here is the demo... http://www.numinalabs.com/farcry/rpg/www/index.cfm?objectid=B1BA5E49-09A7-4031-DDF2B00322F4FBD0 Click on the link for Tellurians and a matching dmFact is searched for and displayed in the side nav. The data is retrived via a cfm file that looks like this... <cfsetting enablecfoutputonly="true" showdebugoutput="false"> <cfparam name="url.def" default="" /> <cfquery name="qFact" datasource="numina"> SELECT * FROM dmFacts WHERE title LIKE '#url.def#' </cfquery> <cfcontent type="text/xml" reset="true" /> <!--- <defTitle>#qFact.title#</defTitle><defBody>#qFact.body#</defBody> ---> <cfoutput><?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes"?> <response> <method>getFact</method> <result><definition><defTitle>#qFact.title#</defTitle><defBody>#qFact.body#</defBody></definition></result> </response></cfoutput> It works great, but I feel like I shouldn't be querying the datasource directly here. Any other ideas? Thanks, Ryan Miller -- Ryan P.
