Real Time Processing

Is there a sample script or codes to update a portion of a page in real time? For example, updating the content of a table in real time by fetching the data from database without refreshing the page. Is this possible?

Thank you.

There's a set of custom tags that can do that for you, it's called FusionScript. We messed around with it at work, it's cool.

Thank you!! I've read some info on that page and I'm very excited to start playing around with it. Thanks again!

Realize that this kind of functionality is usually accomplished by a number of JavaScript "tricks" and most of what I looked at on FusionScript will not work if JavaScript is disabled and is prone to bugs/errors on the non-BIG-2 browsers. (I use Opera6 and their demo yielded nothing to me). In fact, some of the functionality is poorly implemented - for example, I don't see any advantage to creating a dropdown menu navigation widget with CF/Fusion Script.

I'm not saying it's all bad. If you have a controlled browser environment (I often target advanced admin funcitonality to IE5+), then it can be very useful, and you can come up with some innovative ways to use such functionality.

You could do what you want with ColdFusionMX and FlashMX using Flash Remoting.

I have a presentation that I did for my local user group that I will be changing to an article to post here.

Do you happen to have Flash Remoting tutorial?

Also what are significant new features available on CFMX that's not in CF5?

Thanks
