Mark, I haven't done much AJAX using the built in ColdFusion tags, so my solution would use jQuery and be vastly different so I won't bother posting. But I did find this article by Ray Camden where he shows how to update a cfdiv using a JavaScript call: http://www.coldfusionjedi.com/index.cfm/2007/7/19/Building-an-auto-refresh-div-with-ColdFusion-8
<http://www.coldfusionjedi.com/index.cfm/2007/7/19/Building-an-auto-refresh-div-with-ColdFusion-8>Based on that, I think you could setup a click handler on your links. A simple example would be: <cfdiv id="myDiv" bind="url:bind_get_art.cfm?artistID={artistID}"></cfdiv> <a href="get_art_noJS.cfm?artistID=1" onClick="ColdFusion.navigate('bind_get_art.cfm?artistID=1', 'myDiv');return false;" >First Art</a> <a href="get_art_noJS.cfm?artistID=2" onClick="ColdFusion.navigate('bind_get_art.cfm?artistID=2', 'myDiv');return false;" >Second Art</a> If that isn't clear, I assumed you have a get_art_noJS page that the user will be directed to if they do not have JS enabled, and because I have "return false;" in the click event, if a user has JS enabled, that link will not be used and instead the ColdFusion.navigate code will be called. This is a crude way to gracefully degrade the functionality of the page for non-JS users. This code isn't tested and may be completely incorrect [and I am sure this isn't "best practice"], so buyer beware :) --Ken On Fri, Nov 20, 2009 at 9:17 AM, Mark Davis <[email protected]>wrote: > I am looking at replacing some pages in am old app with some AJAX stuff > but am having trouble finding exactly what I am looking for. > > I want to bind a cfdiv to the results of a cfc such as this... > > > <cfdiv bind="url:bind_get_art.cfm?artistID={artistID}"></cfdiv> > > but every example I find is using a cfform element to determine the variable > in the bind. > > How can I accomplish this from a link on the page instead of a cfform?
