Thanks, Paul... I'll start working on that! Rick

Subject: Re: [jQuery] Ok... one last effort to make this work... help! Two broad suggestions: First, get familiar with Firebug; in addition to just js errors its messages will alert you to 404 errors (which you would have caused by calling a file in the wrong folder) as well as 500 errors (which are the result of CF errors) and save you a lot of time wondering why ajax isn't working. Second, poke through the tutorials on jquery.com, which explain the basics and will turn you on to the possibilities. Now back to your question, assuming you're like me and develop in iterations, I would simply start by copy/pasting the .blur() binding for each field: $("#Some-Field-ID").blur(function(){ //assign a blur event to the input $.post("callpage_Validate_Mortgage_Inputs.cfm", {some-variable-name:$("#Some-Field-ID ").val()}, function(data){ When I start by taking the easy way out like this, I typically begin to see how it works and realize along the way how to make it more tidy. You'll also need to handle the POST variables that will be different on the CF side; assuming it existed in v 4.5, CF's structKeyExists(form, "some-variable-name") function would do the trick. And of course, the usual disclaimer: there are better ways to accomplish this task (Jorn's plugin being one of them), but this will get you started. -pm _______________________________________________ jQuery mailing list discuss@jquery.com http://jquery.com/discuss/
