Be sure to check out the Adobe Spry framework too. AJAX isn't rocket science.
I'm sure that once you start digging into it you'll realize there are many
things that you knew how to do already. Somebody just decided to throw together
some libraries to make it easier to use those existing technologies.

Excellent. Thank you Shawn.
Here’s where Google “quickly [got me] off
to…”

Looks like a great start on the AJZAX
learning curve.

Thank you John, that does
help, but…my example of “good morning” was misleading. I need to “make a
decision” at the server end with, perhaps, some sort of CFIF construct
springing from the time at the user’s end.
I am looking for a way to
have a browser request send with itself the user’s local time, then set this as
a session variable upon which conditional logic could be applied. One thought
that I haven’ explored yet is to use a hidden form field. Use javascript to get
the local time, set a value, then (unknowingly) the user causes this value to
be sent to the server, a session variable is set and then elements in the site
can respond accordingly to the user’s time value.

Browser time detection
There
really wouldn't be a cf solution per se since you are trying to find the
clients local time. You probably be better suited to do a javascript code that
runs on the client browser and simply does a lookup for the local time.
This
should help..

Subject: [ACFUG Discuss] Browser
time detection
I am looking for a CF solution to
detect the local time of the incoming browser request. I have a need in my app
to display different elements on the page based on the time of the user/browser.
Such as “Good Morning” if the site visitor is visiting the site in the AM,
“Good evening” in the PM, etc.
I’ve Googled myselft to death and
can’t seem to find what I’m looking for. Does anyone know of a CF_custom
tag, or a “how to”
Thanks,
Dan Kaufman
