Invoke CFC with Button

[WebolutionDesigns]

I have a form I built wherein I am binding several fields to one cfinput and hitting a cfc I built that pulls data from a web service. I am struggling in figuring out how to get the fields to fill in with the binding value once I click a button. Here's the scenario...the end user fills in the field, clicks a button and several other fields get filled in from the cfc that hits the web service. I have tried the following to no avail...

<cfform id="myForm" format="html">

<cfinput type="text" name="reporttype" id="reporttype" value="BASIC">

<cfinput type="text" name="vin" id="vin" value="xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx"><br />

<cfinput type="text" name="modelYear" value="" size="30"  bind="cfc:cfc.vinlookup.getYearvin(argVIN={vin},argReporttype={reporttype})" /><br />

<cfinput type="button" value="getvin" name="getvin" id="getvin">

</cfform>

I have even tried playing with the cfajaxproxy tag and the @click event. I feel like I am close. If someone could educate me/point me in the right direction, I would appreciate it.

Thanks,

When I add the @click in the above bind attribute, it works when I click in the appropriate fields, but I cannot seem to figure out how to run the bind when clicking the button.

ok...I figured it out and thought I would post my solution in case someone else runs into this issue...

(my solution is based of of this link)

cfajaxproxy tag to tie cfc to page via JSON

<cfajaxproxy cfc="proxy" jsclassname="proxy" />

Script that runs the method within the cfc and uses the setCallbackHandler function to return the result. The we can set the result equal to the value utilizing the DOM.

<script>

          function getYearvin(source) {

                    var instance = new proxy();

                    instance.setCallbackHandler(getYearvinSuccess);

                    instance.getYearvin(source);

          }

          function getYearvinSuccess(result) {

                    document.getElementById('year').value = result;

          }

</script>

Here is the form...

<input type="text" name="source" id="source" value="" />

<button name="vinDecode" onClick="getYearvin(getElementById('source').value)">Get Year</button>

<br><br>

<input type="text" name="year" id="year" value="" />
