Nando,
Thanks for the reply. This got me going down the right path. As you
mentioned I also seemed to be having an issue where the values were
persisted after the page was refreshed causing them not to show up correclty
on the main page.
The solution for me was to use :
<cfajaxproxy bind=
"cfc:path.to.cfc.function({value1},{value2},{value3},{value4},{value5})" />
I created a cfc in a folder I use just for ajax stuff. The function
accesses one of my gateways which uses already existing functionality.
This worked great. I can't beleive how hard it was. Thanks for your
comments and assistance. This really is my first use of cfajaxproxy. I
learned alot, hopefully I can remember it now.
