I have a web based application for my company. We use Coldfusion, I
wanted to see if I could use Javascript to make the page a bit more
dynamic.
Right now I use the command:
<cfhttp URL="http://server:port" method="get" Timeout="20" charset="UTF-8">
<cfhttpparam name="var" type="CGI" value="command I send">
this connects to an application on another server listening on the
provided port for a request. When it sees the command a parser
reads the command and formats an XML file that is returned to the web
page. I can parse the XML and use it to fill out the page.
I've read about using "ActiveXObject( Microsoft.XMLHT TP)" and
onreadystatecha nge to dynamically update a web page.
I would like to send the Coldfusion command, or it's Javascript equivalent
to update the page. Say if you need to change an address,
you could submit the change and just the address would be updated on the
page, so it isn't necessary for the remote server to return the entire
account information again.
Is there a Javascript equivalent to the <cfhttpreques t, and what is it?
Thanks

What you seem to be after is AJAX, which is based on xmlHTTPRequest:

With Javascript on the browser, and ColdFusion on the server, you can
communicate quite nicely with AJAX and update parts of the web page
without reloading the whole page.
An earlier method (few years ago) used Flash and Actionscript with
ColdFusion to do the same thing. Since Macromedia owns both ColdFusion
and Flash, that's their preferred method (and they have lots of
examples). But with that method, the browser is using Flash to simulate
a web page, whereas with AJAX you have a real, honest-to-goodness web
page. This thread has been closed and replies have been disabled. Please start a new discussion. Similar topics | |

is python more popular than coldfusion?
I realsie that is a very general question as one thing does not directly relate to the other. My issue is that I am ditching coldfusion due to there being next to no work for it, and I am thinking of taking on python as a second language to java in the hope of improving my resume.

Hello,
I have date fields on a form which is generated by a Coldfusion custom
tag (another piece of code). I want to change something else on the
form when the user changes the date. But, how do I generate an
onChange() event on this field (since I only have the call to the
custom tag in this form)?
Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

Hello,
I have implemented styleswitcher.js on my coldfusion website.
The code looks perfectly ok, but the stylesheets are not taking
effect. Basically, nothing changes when I click on the buttons on the
banner to switch styles.
My friend has implemented the exact same thing on a basic HTML website
and it works perfectly well.

Hello folks,
I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
This is as boiled down as I can make it.
Here is my compilation command:
