Oh..so true. Didn't even think of it that way.
Bummer.that means I've got to learn more JS! I've looked at some blogs and tutorials that deal with outputting JS, but they've all dealt with queries. Know of any resources that provide guidance for dealing with structs? My current CFC creates data from two queries and some single pieces of data and puts them into a struct. Parsing through that is proving to be a little more than I can figure out at this point. Is there any jQuery plug-ins that help deal with parsing and outputting JS data that I can use to by-pass writing raw JS? Projects are getting behind trying to figure out the AJAX approach.perhaps it's just time to shelve AJAX and go back to regular CF code for awhile. Thoughts?

JS executes on the client. When you get data returned from an AJAX call, you're on the client. You're in the realm of JS. There's no "converting" the data into a "usable" (CF) format at that point. All of the CF is done on the server (during the AJAX call, when you're returning JSON from the CFC). Once it's been returned to your jQuery, you'll be working with the data in JS (jQuery).

In my CFC's, I use the returnFormat="json" to send data back properly json-formatted. However, now, I need to know how to get that json data back into a form that I can use with my CF knowledge. Such as looping queries, referring to data by "myQuery.name", etc. In other words, I want to get that json data back into my comfort zone. I need to know what technique to look at. I've looked over many resources and they all seem to offer a little different approach. I have no experience with which to evaluate these approaches. CFSON seems to be the most likely candidate. So, to get this json data (below--from one of my CFC functions), back into ColdFusion, what does everyone suggest? Thanks for *any* guidance! Rick Here's the data mentioned above--does using CFJSON translate this back into "ColdFusion format" without me having to write a bunch of js code to loop the code etc, to translate it? {"MONTH":2,"QGETSCHEDULE":{"COLUMNS":["DUTY_ID","DATE","AM_PM","AGENT_ID","POSITION","FIRST_NAME","L AST_NAME" ],"DATA":[[1677,"February, 28 2009 00:00:00","am",18,"primary","Mary","Fail"],[1678,"February, 28 2009 00:00:00","am",19,"alternate","Rebecca","Nottingham"],[1679,"February, 28 2009 00:00:00","pm",20,"primary" ,"Renea","Camper"],[1680,"February, 28 2009 00:00:00","pm",21,"alternate","Verjuana","Underwood"]]},"MESSAGE" :"Success","YEAR":2009,"SELECTED_DATE":"2009-02-01","QGETDUTYDATES":{"COLUMNS":["DATE"],"DATA":[["Fe bruary , 01 2009 00:00:00"],["February, 02 2009 00:00:00"],["February, 03 2009 00:00:00"],["February, 04 2009 00:00:00"],["February, 05 2009 00:00:00"],["February, 06 2009 00:00:00"],["February, 07 2009 00:00:00" ],["February, 08 2009 00:00:00"],["February, 09 2009 00:00:00"],["February, 10 2009 00:00:00"],["February , 11 2009 00:00:00"],["February, 12 2009 00:00:00"],["February, 13 2009 00:00:00"],["February, 14 2009 00:00:00"],["February, 15 2009 00:00:00"],["February, 16 2009 00:00:00"],["February, 17 2009 00:00:00" ],["February, 18 2009 00:00:00"],["February, 19 2009 00:00:00"],["February, 20 2009 00:00:00"],["February , 21 2009 00:00:00"],["February, 22 2009 00:00:00"],["February, 23 2009 00:00:00"],["February, 24 2009 00:00:00"],["February, 25 2009 00:00:00"],["February, 26 2009 00:00:00"],["February, 27 2009 00:00:00" ],["February, 28 2009 00:00:00"]]}} -- I have failed as much as I have succeeded.
