I’m sorry, but AJAX does not imply the use of XML ? If so, where is it?

@bruce regarding point 1, can you explain further?

Regarding point two, the CF8 returnformat="json" attribute should encode the array as json automatically. If you were using CF7, you will need to parse the array as JSON. There is a handy JSON.cfc by Jehiah Czebotar and Thomas Messier to do this for you in the code example I provide and on RIAForge. The CF7 example is not very neat and could easily be refactored, but it provides a good starting point for you to develop upon.

Hey Simon,

I’m playing around with your code and having a few issues. I think there might be a few bugs.

1. in your Country.cfc shouldn’t be ?

2. I can get cf7 and local working but not the cf8 example. Should i be calling the json encode method on the arrCountry to return the array?

Thanks!
Bruce
