Yeah, Byron, You can't go to a controller directly, because that bypasses the entire Model Glue framework.
You are going into an object (The controller) that is only going to act properly once loaded by Model Glue. Take a look at the RemotingService: http://docs.model-glue.com/wiki/HowTos/HowToUseRemoting#Remoting That's the way you should enter your Model Glue application from Ajax if you want data. If you want HTML, then just access it per normal: $.get("http://golftown.com/index.cfm?method=chartAudits",{}, function(res,code) {...}); On Thu, Feb 24, 2011 at 4:01 PM, Dan Skaggs <[email protected]>wrote: > I think what's happening is that a new instance of that controller CFC > is being created when the remote call comes in from your getJSON() > call.
