Could someone please help me by posting some psuedo code to call a custome cf tag from javascript? I am feeling pretty dumb but can't figure it out...

Thanks bunches!

Have the button submit a form to another cf page that calls the custom tag. If you don't want to actually leave the page you are on, put the target page into a little bitty iframe.

Javascript runs on the client. Cold fusion runs on the server. There are ways around this, but it depends on how you are starting the javascript and what the custom tag does.

Press button, call tag to export to excel... so client, server shouldn't be an issue... :-)
