Hi Hal, Is there any limit to the amount of data that can go in a (hidden) form field (referring to the WDDX packet)? Thanks, Jeff -----Original Message----- From: Hal Helms [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Monday, March 05, 2001 8:49 AM To: CF-Talk Subject: RE: wddx How are you sending the WDDX packet from your machine to the other? You might want to use a hidden form field. That way, when the information is submitted to the processing machine, you can decode it with the <cfwddx> tag where the input is "form.the_name". Make sense? I'm going to be putting out an Occasional Newsletter this week that deals with syndicating content using WDDX. This will have code showing how to do this.

I want to get data from other server using the WDDX coldfusion tag.I have try to write code like below but it not work In my pc: <CFQUERY NAME='q' DATASOURCE='cfsnippets'> select Message_Id, Thread_id, Username from messages </CFQUERY> The recordset data is:...<P> <CFOUTPUT QUERY=q> #Message_ID# #Thread_ID# #Username#<br> </CFOUTPUT><P> <!--- Serialize data to WDDX format ---> Serializing CFML data...<P> <CFWDDX ACTION='cfml2wddx' input=#q# output='wddxText'> And at the server, I code like this: Deserializing WDDX packet...<P> <CFWDDX ACTION='wddx2cfml' input=#wddxText# output='qnew'> The recordset data is:...<P> <CFOUTPUT QUERY=qnew> #Message_ID# #Thread_ID# #Username#<br> </CFOUTPUT><P> I can run the code in my pc but the server can't receive the value. Is it the right way for the send data using wddx tags. 2. Where I can find the example of the using WDDX to get data from other server(coding example).
