New useful methods, two dimensional array are useful for interacting with Ajax stuff. ColdFusion? 8 require two dimensional array for binding

<cfselect bind="cfc:coldboxproxy.getCountryList()">

• query to two dimensional array
• struct to two dimensional array
• xml to two dimensional array

Can you expand more on this Sana. I am not very familiar with it, put samples or anything that can guide us.

This is related to CF8 ajax stuff, but also some time I do generate 2 dimensional array and use with javascript to pull-out different contents based on drop down selection ( <select> ).

At the moment just think this very handy for using CF8 Ajax. As above syntax for (cfselect bind="to cfc return values should be 2 dimensional array">)

<cfset TwoDimensionalArray[1][1] = '0' />
<cfset TwoDimensionalArray[1][2] = 'Please select one name' />
		
<cfloop query="qry">
<cfset TwoDimensionalArray[qry.CurrentRow + 1][1] = trim(qry.id)>
<cfset TwoDimensionalArray[qry.CurrentRow + 1][2] = trim(qry.fname)>
</cfloop>

Its not really important, because lot of developers might not find this useful. This could be moved to v2.7 If time allowed in v2.6 then we will rethink about this.
