There are enough people willing to help you. If you want some guidance with javascript and truly want to invest some time in it, just ask. I am not a writer but passionate enough to ramble about it for hours.

(Somewhat :o) (Still using CF 4.5.2! :o) I wish I could find more customers with bigger budgets who were willing to pay for "higher-level" work so I could afford the time to delve into some of the finer functionality of CF and JS, etc...but around here, budgets are always small...very small...and they are almost always interested in how little money they can spend rather than having what they need in a web site / application. A few years ago, I finally started hosting my own customers' sites, simply because I couldn't make enough just developing websites... I just need to find the right resources that will allow me to learn JS a little at a time, as time allows, and integrate them into apps I can actually get paid for. Maybe someone should start a subscription service to the "2-Minute Javascript Tutor" and send 4 tutorials a month, for $10 per month You learn some basics and actually build something you can use anywhere from 1-4 times per month, based on the complexity of the application. If the content were good enough the ROI sufficient, I'd buy that...especially if it taught how to integrate it into CF apps... Want to start a new business, Rebecca? Sounds like you've come up through the ranks of JS and can remember what it was like to know nothing about the subject. You're just the kind of person to write the tutorials...once someone's been doing something so long they forget what it's like not to know how to do it, they're usually no good at writing beginners' tutorials...

Certainly, you must want to know how to make your web pages more dymamic and your forms more secure and accurate, yes? Perhaps you'd like to be able to set one form field using the selction in another? Once you get to know Javascript, you will wonder what you ever did without it. HTML, Javascript, and ColdFusion go together like Bacon, Lettuce and Tomato! Don't freak out, but along with Javascript, Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) is another tool that is a must-have for any self-respecting developer. Web develoment is not a career for folks who don't enjoy learning new technologies. If you try to stand-still, I can assure you that your customers won't be and will just pass you by (as in bye-bye). ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Discover CFTicket - The leading ColdFusion Help Desk and Trouble Ticket application http://www.houseoffusion.com/banners/view.cfm?bannerid=48 Message: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=i:4:200440 Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/threads.cfm/4 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=s:4 Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.4 Donations & Support: http://www.houseoffusion.com/tiny.cfm/54
