load CF varibales into javascript array without outputing to source code

thanks for your idea

I ended up rethinking the whole process and realized that I only update my vehicle make/model list about once a week

So what I ended up doing was creating the the dynamic javascript arrays through cf - and rendered them in a browser, then took the browser source code (the fully rendered javascript arrays) and saved them as a static js file

My website uses this js file on every page, so I no longer need to call queries on every single page to populate the javascript arrays - they are already built and I am guessing cached by the browser  (browsers cache js files right?)

SO this runs more efficiently.

The only draw back is that when I add a new vehicle to the list in my database, I will need to manually do the same process of rendering the new js code, then cutting and pasting it into my static js file that gets called by all pages.

So it loses the realtime updates - but this only happened once a week anyway - and it only takes me five minutes to create the new file.

We'll see if I get sick of manually creating a new js file each week - probably, but this seems better than making the server re-render the code on each page.

Does this make sense? - would this be less overhead on the server than implimenting your concept?

thanks.
