On the contrary - it is way to easy to ignore (once you get over learning it
;-)
For example:
In the browser js:
formData = new Object;
formData["ApplicantIDGiven"] = form.ApplicantIDGiven[0].checked;
formData["ApplicantID"] = form.ApplicantID.value;
formData["ApplicantCount"] = form.ApplicantCount.selectedIndex + 1;
...
wddxSerializer = new WddxSerializer;
//save into hidden field on other form
formWDDX.Assistant_WDDX.value = wddxSerializer.serialize(formData);
formWDDX.submit();
On the server receiving CFM template:
<CFWDDX action="WDDX2CFML" input="#Form.Assistant_WDDX#"
output="request.Assistant">
<CFPARAM name="request.Assistant.ApplicantIDGiven" default="No">
<CFPARAM name="request.Assistant.ApplicantID" default="">
<CFPARAM name="request.Assistant.ApplicantCount" default="1">
...
and then anywhere you refer to the values using the structure that WDDX
builds for you.
In my case I even have arrays in there: such as
request.Assistant.Priority[2].Number
It's just magic how WDDX allows you to keep the large chunks of data in neat
objects/structures and pass them around between CF and JavaScript easily.

Wahey! Figured it....
Dont like the idea of using WDDX mind you, that sounds a bit too
much like
work... ;o)
BTW: Sorry about the MIME content, I completely forgot I had it
switched on.
