Complete n00b with AJaX/CF - use CFFORM data to call cfc component

Hello, everyone.

I've been asked to do something in CF I've never done before.  Without actually submitting a CFFORM or refreshing the page, make an AJaX call to a cfc component, which will get data from the database, then display it on the same page.

I'm at a complete loss, here.  Has anyone done something like this??

Thanks,

^_^

    If you care to understand the functionality behind the wizardry.  ColdFusion does not mind if you look behind the curtain.

    W3Schools uses .NET for the server side processing in the examples.  But they are so rudimentary that they are trivial to transcribe into CFML versions.

    I'll take a look at them, but I usually don't learn from things like these.  I'm more of a visual/hands on learner.  Thanks for the suggestions.
