Rob - I'm working on someone else's site (i.e....it's not my code) and was trying to do some <cfajaxproxy> stuff and ran into the same problem. It turns out, that there's a gotcha you need to look out for: if the application.cfm (or anything else) is returning any HTML or content, it can screw up the content that is returned by your CFC!
In the case of the app I'm working on the directory structure goes like this: / - root /cfc - all cfc's here /otherdir - other dirs containing groups of CFMs and other stuff. This is where my stuff is. As it turns out, there's a application.cfm in the root and there's one in /otherdir ... but there is no application.cfm in the /cfc dir. So when my CFM employs <cfajaxproxy> to call a method on a CFC in the /Cfc dir, that cfc winds up falling under the jurisdiction of the application.cfm in the root!!! And as luck would have it, that application.cfm was spitting out links to stylesheets into every page. So, my clue was when I looked at the ajax response in firebug, I found these <link...> tags. Then it was a matter of tracking down where they were coming from. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Adobe® ColdFusion® 8 software 8 is the most important and dramatic release to date Get the Free Trial http://ad.doubleclick.net/clk;160198600;22374440;w Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/message.cfm/messageid:300280 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.4
