Ajax Post Value on CF Side

[hofar...@houseoffusion.com]

I'm sending an Ajax post to a CF page. The post data looks like (below) in
the counsel:



Object {name: "rid", value: "1"}



How in the heck to I get that value on the ColdFusion page?

Looks like a basic JSON value. Just parse it and you should have it put
into a variable.

or am I not understanding the question? I have yet to have my morning
coffee.

With JQuery:

var post_data = $('#myform').serializeArray();

$.post('/mycfpage',post_data,function(data){
//do stuff with JSON data here
var name = data.name;
var value = data.value;

//then manipulate the DOM from there

},'json');

You can very easily convert it to a structure using the deserializeJSON
function in CF. Here is a link with some examples of working with JSON in
ColdFusion. http://www.learncfinaweek.com/week1/JSON/

Let me make this simpler. The value being send via an ajax post is:

Object {name: "rid", value: "1"}

If I just want to dump that value/object how to I do it? I have no idea
what name CF see that as.

Once you convert it into a CF structure using deserializeJSON, you can then
use cfdump to see how CF interprets it.

Solved. The problem was I was overcomplicating this and treating it like
JSON just like everyone else has been advising.

With an AJAX post, the string: Object {name: "rid", value: "1"}

Appears to Coldfusion as form values. The values #form.name# and
#form.value# give me "rid" and "1".

Too simple, so it confused me.
