HTMX in Action: Infinite Scroll with ColdFusion
Build Modern, Interactive Web Applications Without Writing JavaScript

Tired of wrestling with complex JavaScript frameworks just to add infinite scroll to your website? This practical guide shows you how to build smooth, professional infinite scroll features using HTMX and ColdFusion—with minimal code and zero JavaScript complexity.

What You'll Learn
In this hands-on book, you'll discover how to:

Build infinite scroll in minutes, not days—using simple HTML attributes instead of hundreds of lines of JavaScript
Create three complete, production-ready examples: a social media feed, an e-commerce product catalog, and a blog archive
Master HTMX fundamentals that apply to any interactive web feature, not just infinite scroll
Optimize performance with database query techniques, caching strategies, and lazy loading
Ensure accessibility so your infinite scroll works for everyone, including keyboard and screen reader users
Handle real-world challenges like filtering, error recovery, slow connections, and SEO
Why This Book?
Most infinite scroll tutorials show you a basic example and leave you to figure out the rest. This book gives you complete, working code for real-world scenarios—social feeds, product catalogs, and blog archives—with all the edge cases handled.

You'll learn:

When to use infinite scroll (and when not to)
How to combine infinite scroll with filters and search
Database pagination techniques that stay fast with thousands of records
Error handling and retry logic users actually need
Testing and debugging strategies that save hours
Who This Book Is For
This book is perfect for:

ColdFusion developers who want to add modern interactivity without learning React or Vue
Backend developers who are stronger in server-side code than JavaScript
Full-stack developers looking for simpler alternatives to heavy frameworks
Anyone maintaining legacy ColdFusion applications who needs to modernize without a complete rewrite
You should know basic ColdFusion (queries, loops, parameters) and HTML/CSS. No JavaScript experience required.

What Makes This Different?
Practical, not theoretical. Every chapter includes working code you can copy and use immediately. The three detailed examples cover the most common infinite scroll use cases, with complete source code, database schemas, and deployment checklists.
