Re: ajax tutorials for form objects
+1 to Rick's +1 to Michael's suggestion. One of the great things about CF is the cfc's can automatically return arrays in JSON format that jQuery can consume. Like so: I can tell you first hand that formatting JSON by hand from a data structure like a query can be a total PITA. So in that respect, returnformat="JSON" is a Godsend for AJAX development. As far as Ajax tutes go, the documentation on the jQuery site for it's AJAX features is a great place to start http://api.jquery.com/category/ajax/ Also, the docs on CFSelect and cfinput that use the bind attribute is also a great place to start. http://livedocs.adobe.com/coldfusion/8/htmldocs/help.html?content=Tags_r-s_14.html CF takes a LOT of the grunt work out of working with AJAXish functionality.

Re: ajax tutorials for form objects
I generally prefer to use JQuery over CF's built in stuff. I find it to be more steamlined. Plus I think you can probably find more tuts for the JQuery approach. This tut has a nice approach and actually explains ajax a bit. Might be a good start: http://articles.sitepoint.com/article/ajax-jquery Ofcourse the JQuery website has great api docs.

RE: ajax tutorials for form objects
So you want to use Ajax to go to the server and get some results? Have a look at ColdFusions cfAjaxProxy tag.
