Before the notion of AJAX was around, Jim Davis wrote an
essay on how to do
async comms with a GIF and a cookie.

This covers the cookie manipulation you mention.

Well I think the point is that they cannot communicate
*directly*: they
need to use HTTP. Just like you and I can't just talk to each
other
directly: we need a forum.
Really a lot of people on these forums seem to think "CF is a
computer
language which has something to do with making my web page do
stuff...
JavaScript is a computer language which has something to do
with making my
web page do stuff. That's pretty much the same: they must
just
intrinsically be able to play with each other's code". And
they don't seem
to "get" the whole client / server thing. I think from your
earlier posts
in this thread it would be fair enough for people to be
saying "well...
no... it doesn't work like that". I don't think anyone was
assuming it's
not possible, I think they might have been giving the
"Client/Server 101"
answer, before moving on to the "Client/Server 102: why that
is the answer"
spiel. Quite possibly they could have skipped to the latter,
in this case.
