Spry and ColdFusion

The photocart: http://www.olimpo.ch/tmt/spry/demos/gallery/cart.html I turned Spry's photogallery into a sort of shopping cart, you can add images to the cart in order to download the selected images in just one single swap (a zip is generated on the fly using CF). There is still much room for improvements, but it was an interesting experience. I also started working on a set of tools to integrate more easily Spry into CF apps. The first two aren't yet features complete, but already fully functional: http://www.olimpo.ch/tmt/tag/sprydataset/ http://www.olimpo.ch/tmt/tag/sprydataset/sample.cfm Marshall a CFML variable into a Spry's dataset. This can be especially useful whenever you have to handle only a limited amount of data. By not turning the data into XML you save some work and the extra HTTP call associated with using XML to populate a Spry's dataset http://www.olimpo.ch/tmt/tag/spryxml/ Marshall a CFML variable into XML that can be used to feed a Spry's dataset ---------------------------- Massimo Foti Tools for ColdFusion and Dreamweaver developers: http://www.massimocorner.com ----------------------------

Fig Leaf Software released a class in the Washington, DC area on Spry and ColdFusion. http://training.figleaf.com/Courses/ajax.cfm Not sure if their class comes with tools or not, but it may be worth checking.
