Yeah, that's coo. JSMX does the same. It is, really, whatever floats your boat. For me, if I want to do heavy JS work I'd use MochiKit<http://www.mochikit.com/>. For Ajax, it is JSMX all the way. If I want all of the sliding effects, blah, blah, blah I'd most likely use Atlas or Spry.
It is the choice between a framework or simple Ajax connections. I know JS so I don't mind writing my own display code, etc. I'll, honestly, never use cfajax again. I was using it when it first came out and a while after but, seriously, you'll probably like JSMX better when it comes to pure XMLHttpRequest. It is easier to make a call and get your data...which is why Ajax is used (a...synchronous; :-) ). </MyOpinionOnTheMatter> On 6/23/06, Josh Nathanson <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > My understanding is that the cfajax/ajaxcfc engine will return whatever > you > return from CF, but converted into JS.
