I just want to thank everyone who came out last night and listened to me ramble for an hour and half. The presentation went great it seemed that everyone had a real interest in the subject and the turnout was really great. I would love to work on this preso more and maybe give it to another user group via connect so if your interested please drop me an email. If anyone has questions about the presentation material please let me know.

Just a suggestion, but you could always do it for the CFMeetup (http://www.meetup.com/coldfusionmeetup/)

I was actually going to ping Charlie. I am just not sure how many people would be interested

Thanks very much for the presentation last night. It was very informative and I am glad I came out. Will the example code be made available?

I wondered one other thing, I noticed in your eclipse install an icon that had MU on it. What plugin is that from, yo?

Dan, have you seen this: I have a cfinput type=checkbox bound to a cfgrid via the grid's bind attribute. The checkbox is supposed to limit the returned recordset via it's value (on or off). Using the ColdFusion AJAX debugger, I see that the value of the checkbox is being passed to the cfc as "on" regardless of whether it is checked or not! Is this some sort of bug?

@David - MU - MxUnit plugin

@Wayne - I am not sure about that, have not played around with biding a whole lot.

Here's an example that accomplishes a similar result using the Derby artgallery database that ships with CF 8:

CF:

<cfajaximport />

<html>
<head>

<script type="text/javascript">   

function init() {
//get the gridArtists component
gridArtists = ColdFusion.Grid.getGridObject("gridArtists");
    gridArtistsView = gridArtists.getView();
   
var cm = gridArtists.getColumnModel();
var gridFoot = gridArtists.getView().getFooterPanel(true);
var ds = gridArtists.getDataSource();
   
// add a paging toolbar to the grid's footer
var paging = new Ext.PagingToolbar(gridFoot, ds, {
pageSize: 500,
displayInfo: true,
displayMsg: 'Displaying records {0} - {1} of {2}',
emptyMsg: "No records to display"
});
   
}
   
   
</script>
</head>

<body>
