Access CFC in Javascript

[Dinghus]

Okay, so I did the whole
<cfinvoke component="myCFC" method="init" returnvariable="myObj">

Now is it at all possible to access this from JavaScript?

it's no different than any other CF code.

you can do:

<script type="text/javascript">
var myVariable = "#myObj.foo()#";
</script>

(assuming the foo() method returns a string... and that the code is within <cfoutput> blocks)

but whether it's a CFC or any other CF code, you still have the client side (JS) / server side (CF) issues.

Yep. I think that is why it isn't working. When I did what you have there, it threw an error. Have to find another way to do this I guess.

the code i used as an example should work.

it's no different than:

<cfset myname = "charlie" />
<cfoutput>
<script type="text/javascript">
var myName = "#variables.myname#";
</script>
</cfoutput>

that's legal and works fine, and is conceptually the same as what i posted above. what specific error are you getting?
