John, So far I am unaware of any compatibility issues regarding FusionScript with MX. I have tested some, although I admit to not testing it extensively specifically in MX. So far the FS community has been a reliable source for reporting bugs and problems, and I have yet to see any MX-specific problems pop up there either.
It should be operable with any CF version 4.5+, including MX - I am told some have had success with FS with 4.01.

Create client functionality with CF syntax ! www.FusionScript.com A free, Open Source project by and for the CF web community ! ----- Original Message ----- From: "John Farrar" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Thursday, May 16, 2002 7:25 AM Subject: Re: Using FuseBox with FusionScript - help? How tested is it with CFMX? Thanks, John Farrar >>> [EMAIL PROTECTED] 05/15/02 05:58PM >>> Hello All, For those of you whom are unaware, I have started an open source project called FusionScript. FusionScript is a technology to allow you to write client-side functionality rapidly with plain CF syntax. The new FusionScript v1.0 beta has just been released which allows you to communicate with server-side cfm pages without a page reload, extending your development possibilities to an amazing degree. I wont spend too much time describing it, visit the web site for more information on FusionScript itself at : www.fusionscript.com More importantly --> The FusionScript engine is nearly 400 files, and unfortunately I am far too busy to take every framework and methodology into consideration personally. Questions are being made however on how such integrations can be done with FuseBox. I am looking for a talented FuseBox-minded individuals to assist me in defining what, if anything should be done to cater to the FuseBox framework and community. This person would contribute thoughts and concepts of general API variables, template calls and "best practices" when developing with FusionScript and FuseBox together. For example --> with the new activeServer component, you can hit a server page at any time. The front page of the FusionScript site has an example of how this works. You type in a zipcode, press a button and a request is made to a .cfm file that pulls the city and state information from a database, which is then returned to the client - all without a page reload. So in this example there are actually two files being processed, the one that displays the form and has the FusionScript client-side code in it, and the server page that fulfills those client requests. View the viewlet tutorial of this coding example at : http://www.fusionscript.com/viewlets/as_zipcode/as_zipcode_viewlet.html So, how would these templates appropriately fit into the FuseBox odel? -these are the types of issues I am looking for someone to interface with about. This information will then be incorporated into the documentation and into the FusionScript web site. Because FusionScript is open source and I do not personally own the rights to it and is (and always will be) free - I cannot offer you compensation, but you will receive credit for your help both in the documentation/web site - and possibly leave your mark on the web dev community =) The FusionScript web site currently gets roughly 50,000 hits monthly, and has had over 2,000 downloads in the three short months it has been available. With stats such as these, its safe to say FusionScript could easily become the next standard tool in CF web development. Lastly, if you wish to participate in the general development of FusionScript, or this FuseBox specific portion - all are always welcome and encouraged! -if so, join the FusionScript list on the site, as this can cloud this list with OT traffic.
