You are my hero! That is cool stuff. I've been doing much less in CF and more in Grails these days, and it's great to remember that Javascript does a lot of cool stuff like that. Grails comes with support for prototype and YUI. I will check if there is a plugin for jQuery, too. By support, I mean that there are Grails tags (e.g. AJAX) that will adapt themselves to generate client code compatible with the Javascript library of your choice, requiring nothing more than telling Grails which library you're using.
Thanks!
