Ok I read about this on one of my many 1,000 google searches for this subject and someone mentioned using returnformat=plain. I tried that and I get the data back in the correct format: /contentfiles/ajaxlookup.cfc?method=getInstitutions&returnformat=plain&term=Miami //["Miami Area Geriatric Education Center","Miami Children's Hospital","Miami Research Associates","Miami University (Oxford, Ohio)","Miami Valley Hospital","Miami, FL-546","University of Miami\/Jackson Health System"] BUT I still don't get the autosuggest drop down on the form. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Order the Adobe Coldfusion Anthology now! http://www.amazon.com/Adobe-Coldfusion-Anthology/dp/1430272155/?tag=houseoffusion Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/message.cfm/messageid:357112 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/unsubscribe.cfm
