How to reload a <cfinclude> only document?

[Daniel Eng]

Hi, I have a CFM page index.cfm that contains <cfinclude template="form.cfm">.
Is it possible to reload just the form.cfm page without reloading the index.cfm
as well? The reason being I dun want the whole page to reload again after I
update a database which is in form.cfm

Thanks!

Not that I'm aware of. But if yu're updating with the same info would it really matter?

In short... the answer to the question you are asking is "no: it is not
possible".

However I don't think what you're asking is actually what you want to do
anyhow!

You have to remember that it's the client browser that determines what gets
loaded where, and when and how: the CF server has nothing to do with it.
It just responds to requests.

What you might consider doing is splitting the "stuff you want to refresh"
and the "stuff you don't want to refresh" into two different areas on the
client screen. This is most easily facilitated with frames or iframes,
although it's also possible just with divs.

You still need to make a complete request back to the CF server to
reprocess the "stuff you want to refresh", but if the request is targetted
to a specific frame (or div), then only that part of the screen will
refresh.
