Hi<br><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div class="im"><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"><div>I want to, using AJAX, when the user selects a value from a list, pass that value to the server for processing and in response change the value of an item on the screen based on some server-side processing.</div>

anAjax>>#serializeThis allows me to pass the selected value to the server, and anAjax>>#script: allows me to change the screen component value. I can't figure out how to combine this into a single server request. I don't seem to have access to an Ajax canvas object in the callback when I use serializeThis.</div>
