Re: This CFC function and jQuery Ajax stuff is killing me...
Sorry does not mean a lot to me either. )-:
I would be going through that line by line using an alert box to output
variables till i could isolate the problem. Other than that i'd say get
a hold of learning Jquery. Its not that big a read. It does sound as if
you need more grounding in jquery.

Fair enough. There *are* limits to what cfgrid can do "natively." But the
basics are *so* easy.

RE: This CFC function and jQuery Ajax stuff is killing me...
Well, I have to admit I've never tried any of the
CF8 built-in ajax widgets.
I've considered it, but as with most widgets, sooner
or later I'm going to run into their limitations and
have to learn to get more granular control over the
code by hand-coding it so I might as well start now.
I've been working with jQuery and, up until now, everything
I've tried has been relatively simple.
So, I thought I'd just try to tackle this so I can
keep everything hand-coded. (A glutton for punishment...)

RE: This CFC function and jQuery Ajax stuff is killing me...
Oh, Charlie...you make me sad...
Yeah, I get the server-side vs client-side...I was just
hoping that somehow I would get to work with CF code
back on the calling page.
Why don't you just figure out how we can query the
JS data, like a QoQ or something and turn it back into
CF data! I like it!
Anyway...I'll live with the limitations...for now.
But sooner or later we're going to have to set all this
up properly! :o)
Thanks for the help!

Re: This CFC function and jQuery Ajax stuff is killing me...
no no no no no.
again CF = server side. JS = client side.
if you pass JSON -to- the server -from- the client, you can use cfjson to
create coldfusion structures with it. Or, if you're on CF8, you can just
use the built-in deserializeJSON().
But (again)... if you've SENT data FROM coldfusion TO the client, you are
now on the client. At some point you're going to have to accept that there
is no client side ColdFusion. The "J" in AJAX is JavaScript. If you're
going to be working with AJAX, you're going to have to bite the bullet at
some point and roll up your sleeves and work with JavaScript. Or, yes, you
can use the built in AJAX functionality within CF. depending on what you
need to do it might be robust enough. But (IMO) the built in AJAX stuff,
while handy for quick one-offs, is not a replacement for really knowing and
understanding how to work with AJAX.

RE: This CFC function and jQuery Ajax stuff is killing me...
Thanks for the further tips, James...I'm sure it'll all
come clear...(eventually :o)
So, am I to understand, that after reading
http://jehiah.com/projects/cfjson/
that CFJSON will translate my json-formatted
javascript data returned from an ajax call into
CF-formatted data, ready-to-use on my calling page
without having to write js translation looping procedures, etc.?
In essence, CFJSON was written to solve my problem of getting
JSON-formatted data from a CFC back into CF-formatted data so
I can use standard CF operations on it?

RE: This CFC function and jQuery Ajax stuff is killing me...
Hi, John...and thanks for the reply.
Yes, the data is headed for a table.
I'll be outputting rows set up like this:
Date am/pm position agent
Just those four rows. This is the first
time I've tried to output more than single
elements returned via ajax. Usually, I can just
specify what the individual data is for the return,
such as struct.name, struct.date, etc. Now I'm trying
to figure out how to deal with queries, etc.
I wish I could somehow get this back into a structure
where I could use CF code to deal with it...oh, that
would be nice...

Can we have some more background? What are you going to be doing with this
data once you get it back to the calling page? A grid or what?

Re: This CFC function and jQuery Ajax stuff is killing me...
Hey Rick,
What you have coming back is a JSON object. The part of your ajax call
- success: function(response) { - is the beginning point for
displaying that data returned. You'll be adding quite a bit more
javascript to handle the display. You can either put this additional
js into that success function or separate it out to a new function. So
either
success: function(response) {
--- lots of js code to parse JSON and populate display --
}
OR
success: function(response) {
populatePage(response);
}
and then outside that ajax call write:
function populatePage(response) {
--- lots of js code to parse JSON and populate display --
}
Doing the display part is where you have to learn to translate your
abilities to output CF structures and queries to javascript. As James
said, there is some looping involved. The JSON object is somewhat like
a CF structure. The variables preceded by a curly bracket are keys in
that structure. The queries are basically arrays inside the structure.
I assume you have an empty div or some place in your html to put the
response data. I'll call it 'myDiv' for now. To display one of the
simple structure variables, you can do this.
$('myDiv').append(response.MONTH + '/' + response.YEAR); //variables
are case sensitive
For the queries, you can use jQuery's each to loop over the query
rows. I don't have time to complete this, but here is a start of how
you can get to that query data.
function populatePage(response) {
$.each(response.QGETSCHEDULE.DATA, function(i, row) {
$.each(response.QGETSCHEDULE.COLUMNS, function(j, colName) {
console.log(colName + ': ' + row[j]);
});
});
}

RE: This CFC function and jQuery Ajax stuff is killing me...
I tried modifying my jQuery for the pattern you have below, but
I'm getting an error. I'm sure it's because my query is more
involved and I'm not implementing your suggestion correctly.
The error I'm getting is:
s.url.match is not a function
onreadystatechange()()
onreadystatechange()()
onreadystatechange()()
getSchedule()
onmouseup(mouseup clientX=616, clientY=288)
jQuery.readyList.push(function() {returnurl,
s.async,s.username,s.password);else
I have no clue what that is trying to tell me...
The entire query now looks like this:
function getSchedule() {
if ($('option:selected', '#year').val() == ''
|| $('option:selected', '#month').val() == '00')
{ $('#error-month-year').fadeIn(500); }
else
{
if ( $('#error-month-year').attr('visible', 'visible') )
{ $('#error-month-year').fadeOut(250); }
var formval = { dsn: '<cfoutput>#application.dsn#</cfoutput>',
month:$('option:selected', '#month').val(),
day: $('#day').val(),
year: $('option:selected', '#year').val() };
console.log(formval);
$.getJSON ({ cache: false,
url:
"../components/floor_duty.cfc?method=get_duty_schedule",
data: formval,
success: function(data) {
$.each(data, function(structKey,
structValue) {
var buildDate =
structValue['month'] +
structValue['year'] ;
});
}
});
}
};

Re: This CFC function and jQuery Ajax stuff is killing me...
Just been reading Learning Jquery so hopefully this can get you on the
right track
$(document.ready(function( ) {
$.getJSON('cfcName.cfc?method=methodName',function(data)
{
$.each(data,function(structKey, structValue){var buildDate =
structValue['month'] + structValue['year'] ; });
});
});
The 1st callback function (in $getJSON method) uses your cfcs returned
JSON (i.e. data).
The 2nd callback function belonging to the $.each method has access to
the current iteration key/value pair of your json(struct).
Have not tried it but if cfc access set to remote and returnformat =
json i think it should bear fruit

Re: This CFC function and jQuery Ajax stuff is killing me...
Try $.getJSON instead of $.ajax for a little more efficiency.
cfajaxproxy is the JS way of getting to the same point, essentially.
With either method, you need to be able to write the JS you need to
use the result set. You're getting back an object with two properties:
COLUMNS and DATA. COLUMNS is an array; DATA is an array of arrays. So
yes, there's going to be some looping involved.

RE: This CFC function and jQuery Ajax stuff is killing me...
The call that I've been using is
$.ajax({ cache: false,
type: "post",
url: "../components/floor_duty.cfc?method="get_duty_schedule",
dataType: "json",
data: "formval",<--- form values, etc., are put into this
variable
success: function(response) {
etc...
and in the cfc method, I specify returnFormat = "json".
I looked over the Adobe docs and another resource I found,
but I've got to tell you, I couldn't figure out what to do
with the information.
Am I supposed to make use of "cfajaxproxy" tag or Spry or what?
>From looking at the example in the docs for using an asynchronous
CFC proxy, it's quite complicated. Will I have to learn how
to loop over the data from the ajax call using javascript to be
able to use the data on my calling page?
I hope there's a much simpler answer than what I'm suspecting.
I was just hoping I'd be able to use the struct (structSchedule
in my code) much like I would a cfquery.

I should have added that I was wondering how you used jQuery to do the Ajax call, since $.getJSON() should automatically convert the JSON to data: http://docs.jquery.com/Ajax/jQuery.getJSON mxAjax / CFAjax docs and other useful articles: http://www.bifrost.com.au/blog/ 2009/2/4 Rick Faircloth : > > Thanks for the tips, James...

Re: This CFC function and jQuery Ajax stuff is killing me...
You have a properly formed JSON return there. So, it's already serialized. You can simply do a JavaScript eval() on the returned data. Alternatively, you can include a JSON parser javascript library like http://www.json.org/json_parse.js into your code and parse it that way. The end result of either will be a JavaScript object. Finally, you can simplify a lot of this stuff with what's built in to CF 8: http://livedocs.adobe.com/coldfusion/8/htmldocs/ajaxdata_06.html mxAjax / CFAjax docs and other useful articles: http://www.bifrost.com.au/blog/ 2009/2/4 Rick Faircloth : > > Not to overly dramatic, but, I think my head really is > about to explode.
