benign, Let me preface this by saying that Ajax features are not fancy, whiz bang effects. Those effects are typically additional DOM/CSS/DHTML components created to compliment Ajax functionality.
If all you want is straight Ajax with some level of CF integration, then look at AjaxCFC (www.robgonda.com) or JSMX (www.lalabird.com). These are lightweight options that offer very good Ajax features and nice CF coupling. If you want Ajax integrated with the effects and some level of CF integration, then look at MXAjax. I started off with AjaxCFC and then decided to use one of the more popular & maintstream libraries on the market. These include: jQuery (http://www.jquery.com) Prototype/Scriptaculous (http://script.aculo.us/) Yahoo User Interface (http://developer.yahoo.com/yui/) Dojo (http://dojotoolkit.com/) I personally chose jQuery because of its power, documentation, learning curve and simple syntax. While all of the tools I listed are very powerful, only YUI, IMO, came close in terms of completeness in regards to the criteria I just mentioned (power, documentation, learning curve and simple syntax). The community is awesome as well. There are several CF'ers here that have adopted jQuery so if you need some assistance feel free to ask.
