Guess I should have explained since the topic is shifting this direction.
I don't have to worry about whether their JS is turned on. It is for a
Intranet web site that I have control over what browsers and browser settings
are being used.
I just need to find the best functions in CF8 to accomplish my goal. So far it
looks like I have to brush up on my javascript to get CF8 to do what I want.
I will check out the link you sent.
So far I have the following, but I need to switch it to a form instead of a
hyperlink and somehow get the text input into the ColdFusion.navigate function.
I think I can do this with javascript.
<html>
<head>
<!--- The Callback handler puts text in the window.cfm callback div. --->
<script language="javascript">
var mycallBack = function(){
document.getElementById("callback").innerHTML = "<br><br><b>This is
printed by the callback handler.</b>";
}
<!--- The error handler pops an alert with the error code and message. --->
var myerrorhandler = function(errorCode,errorMessage){
alert("[In Error Handler]" + "\n\n" + "Error Code: " + errorCode +
"\n\n" + "Error Message: " + errorMessage);
}
</script>
</head>
<body>
<cfdiv id="w1">
This is a cfwindow control.<br><br>
<a href="javascript:ColdFusion.navigate('searchTest.cfm?query=White
Plates','w2',
mycallBack,myerrorhandler);">Click</a> to navigate Window 2</a>
</cfdiv>
<cfdiv id="w2">
This is a second cfwindow control.
</cfdiv>
</body>
</html>

Hi Chad,
You'll hear some good advice about properly using Ajax-based
technologies and the advice I can give you is to look at "progressive
enhancement". It's ensuring that your application works as expected
using traditional development methods and then gradually enhancing it to
leverage JavaScript, DHTML and Ajax. In your case, it appears that
you're halfway there since you already have a working search form. The
next step is to begin adding the JavaScript, DHTML and Ajax gradually
until you get the desired effect that you, all the while ensuring that
your page still functions when JS is not enabled.
I would urge you to look up the topic before wandering too far into
making substantial updates:
