It's mostly because I don't know of anyone actually using CF8's built in implementation. It's highly unlikely that anyone is going to be building a single AJAX call in a vacuum. Most developers are going to be using jQuery for other aspects of the site's development. Better to stay consistent and use jQuery for everything rather than drop into a different implementation and syntax.

Click on this link (CF8 docs): http://livedocs.adobe.com/coldfusion/8/htmldocs/ajaxui_5.html and scroll down to "Using the cfajaxproxy SetForm function". There's a working code sample for you and everything. Essentially, you create a CFC on the server side and reference it with a cfajaxproxy tag. To borrow from Adobe's example, the magic happens in about 3 lines of JavaScript code: var auth = new AuthenticationSystem(); auth.setForm("loginForm"); auth.validateCredentials(); ~Brad -------- Original Message -------- Subject: AJAX Question From: Matthew Allen <a.matthe...@yahoo.com> Date: Fri, January 22, 2010 8:48 am To: cf-talk <cf-talk@houseoffusion.com> Can anyone please give me pointers or real life example of how to insert simple form field values into a database using AJAX.
