Rick... To be honest, if you're just performing calculations on the values from the form fields, you don't even need an AJAX call. Just do the math in javascript. It'll be faster and seem more responsive to the user.
_____ From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Rick Faircloth Sent: Wednesday, February 28, 2007 3:31 PM To: 'jQuery Discussion.' Subject: [jQuery] Need some guidance... Hi, all. I've just started using jQuery recently and now I'm trying to understand how to use it with AJAX and I just don't know enough about how it works to get started on a fairly simple app. The sample app I've been tinkering with sends a URL variable for a User_ID using AJAX to a CF page, which runs a query and returns the info to the calling page and appends it to the body. I'd like to send results back to the form fields, as well as the calculated result. I just don't have a clue how to set this up. I have a mortgage calculator and I want the user to be able to enter the principal, interest rate, and duration in years, then run a calculation on it and return the result. I've set this up in a regular form that submits back to the page it's on and it works fine. It's coded in CF. I'd like to be able to calculate and return the results using AJAX. I've worked some very simple code using AJAX (actually it was given to me), but I have no idea how to code for the above scenario. Would anyone care to give this CF'er some guidance on creating this small jQuery/CF/AJAX app? Thanks for any help! Rick
