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.
My first project at my new job is to create usage reports for our product. I started building a UI with HTML, Jquery and ColdFusion, but I soon realized that we were going to need a more fluid interface to the data.
I've done this countless times, yet I can never seem to remember how I did it the next time I need the code. This is so I don't have to hit up Google next time.
