How about (from the top of my head) you create a page with frames.
Instead of refreshing the whole page, refresh a hidden frame with a cfml
template and then pass the variables through the frames via javascript and
then update the textarea (which of course is in a different frame).
Just a thought...
Could work quite nicely!
