Javascript to Coldfusion, using variable in javascript to query in CF with

Question

Can I use a string array in my javascript file, pass it to a coldfusion page and use the elements in the array as parameters to search by in a < cfquery > ?

.js

$.get("submit.cfm",{arr: obj}).done( function(data) {
    alert('The returned data is: ' + data);
});

.cfm

<cfparam name="tempArr" default = "" >

<cfset array = ArrayNew(6)>

<cfloop from="1" to="6" index="i">
     <cfset ArrayAppend(array, tempArr[i])>
</cfloop>

The code is incomplete, but how can I pass the values of obj (string array) from javascript to the variable tempArr in my coldfusion code

You would need to convert your array to JSON (JavaScript Object Notation), so you can pass it to the server via Ajax. Then you would need to process the JSON into a server-side array structure.

See this article for more details...
