John, while someone may well spot something for you, I think it's a bit much to ask to just dump the code and ask "what am I doing wrong?". :-) It would help a lot more if you told us what's not working as you'd expect.
Indeed, that begs the question of what sort of debugging you are doing to detect what parts of the code are working are working at all. Is it calling your CFC in the Ajax call? You could determine that by using CFLOG or CFTRACE (or even CFFILE) to write something from the CFC saying "I'm here". You could even send yourself an email with CFMAIL. You could also use the FusionDebug debugger to literally set breakpoints in the CFC and they will fire if the CFC is called. If none of those show it being called, then you know the issue is in the Javascript. Or perhaps it's being called, but it's returning something other than what your Javascript is expecting. In that case, you can consider a tool like Fiddler or ServiceCapture, or Firebug in Firefox, to detect and show you what stream of data is coming from the CFC server. Perhaps there's an error. Perhaps it's including CF debugging output (in which case you'd want to turn that off). Or it may just be returning some form of output that the Javascript isn't expecting. Hope any of those help. PS I wrote more about these in a blog entry on working with Spry, thought the concepts apply with any Ajax caller: http://carehart.org/blog/client/index.cfm/2006/7/13/spry4_unexpected_server_ results /charlie http://www.carehart.org/blog/ -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, October 19, 2006 10:04 AM To: discussion@acfug.org Subject: [ACFUG Discuss] Ajax isn't just some guy from way back when... ok I know I am missing a piece of the Ajax/webservice puzzle in the below code can anyone spot what I am doing wrong.
