I am on Day 5 with CF and Coming along nicely.
I have a question on mixing CF and Javascript.
Say I have the following with an onBlur event:
input type=textfield name=upc id=upc size=12 maxlength=12
onblur=lookUpUPC(this.value); /
Here is the JS for LookUpUPC()
function lookUpUPC(upc
on mixing CF and Javascript.

{
cfquery name=ckUPC datasource=#application.dsn

So I must be doing something wrong but I am not sure what.
Can anybody shed some light?

ColdFusion runs on the server and Javascript runs on the client and the two
don't mix.
Ok, they can be made to look like they mix with Ajax and other techniques, but
this isn't beginner stuff.
You need to use AJAX.
I agree, but I wouldn't recommend CFAjax. It's outdated, and the guy
that wrote it has moved on to MXAjax:

Personally I prefer ajaxCFC:
http://ajaxcfc.riaforge.org/
that array.

another page or service to
activate CF enabled templates. This is typically done in AJAX when using
JavaScript. You can do this also in Flash with Flex.

yeah, that's why I threw in the mention of AJAX, but really didn't
pursue that as the solution. He's probably got enough things on his
plate at the moment without introducing a new technology :)

imagine it's similar in
mxajax.

Don't look into CFAJAX unless you like outdated code with known security
vulnerabilities that isn't being updated/maintained anymore.
ajaxCFC or mxajax or any variety of others, but absolutely not cfajax.

if he does a query without the WHERE and loops over that query, he can create a
JS array easily.
Even easier if he uses the cfwddx action=cfml2js ... tag, which will take a
CF variable, simple or complex, and turn it into a corresponding JS variable.

BTW, just to clarify...I wasn't trying to debate over which was easier (the
JS array vs AJAX), since easy is a relative term. My point was that it's
possible to do without AJAX.
And my easy was referring to the creation of the JS array, again not JS array
VS AJAX. But I concur that jumping
You can do exactly what he wants by loading the data into a JS array.
Then his function would simply look in the array rather than trying to
do a query.
the cfquery in his function is querying for a specific record based on
a value passed to the function.
if he does a query without the
I reviewed every one's response so far and I did like a single one. I would
use a bakery analogy. For example CF is like a cake it gets baked first then
the sweet buttery javascript icing goes last. The two don't mix well. To cut
the layers you need a fork called AJAX bla bla bla. What you need

make him more confused and hungry for cake.

To cake or not to bake, that is the question...
Whether 'tis nobler in the kitchen to suffer the slings and arrows of
outrageous icing or to bear arms against a sea of debugging - and by

Do an iframe with the variable in the Url of the iframe.
Do an onblur event on the field to reload the iframe.
Put your Query and Display element in the iframe.
I say this because if your doing a query on a DB with millions of records an
