More often than not, you're placing ColdFusion (or any server-side language) code within HTML to set pre-existing values of a form. You can cut down on tons of excess server-side code by setting those values using Javascript. Here are a few examples of how you can use jQuery with ColdFusion to set form values.
Aaron Lynch, one of the brains behind InstantSpot.com has just launched a new ColdFusion tag, as well as a website that allows you to compress multiple Javascript files into a single, minified file.
I've been working with JQuery quite a bit lately and I'm aggravated that I didn't pick it up sooner. Someone on the DFW CFUG mailing list asked for a quick example of why they should use it. Another post on the JQuery list asked how to create a "Check All" box using JQuery. I decided to expand on the "check all" example I posted to the CFUG list to show how things have progressed from old school Javascript to JQuery.
