Relieving Coldfusion with Javascript

[ice78991]

Coldfusion tables generally contain a lot of looping code as you cycle through query object.I am considering using <cfoutput query =.... loops to fill javascript arrays and then recreate the loops to output the tables with javascript using document.write(..). This way I hope to shift some of the burden of displaying these tables from the server to the client and I will also reduce the file size

Has anybody attempted this and is there much performance gain to speak of? I assume that coldfusion will have to output and do less with this method. However document.write(...) can make code less neat and harder to maintain? All comments appreciated !

what are you going to do for users (including the search engine bots) who have javascript turned off?

I don't get it. What you are proposing sounds so backwards. CF can handle it, or else there is a fundamental problem in the code or technique! What exactly are you trying to solve, specifically?
