Joel,
ColdFusion is a 'SERVER-SIDE' language. This means that all coldfusion
commands are run on the server prior to deliver of the page to the user in
their browser.
What this means in this situation is that you cannot request the user to
respond to something before the CF code can continue processing. (because the
user isn't involved with the generation of each page.
You will need to handle this through a combination of HTML, JavaScript and
ColdFusion.
Send the original page to the user, this page will be where the user will make
their selections. Validate that they made selections in your 'form' using
javascript. Once the form is submitted to your site revalidate their selections
using ColdFusion, then return a page to the user that incorporates their
selections.
I hope that this helps,
William
