One thing to add/correct from Philip's response:
#cgi.query_string# contains url parameters.
You can reference those as url.variablename (or just variablename) to get the values
most of the time.
One exception to look out for on that is if you have a url like this:
index.cfm?a=5&a=6&a=7
When the same variable is named several times, the variable only gets the last value
in the url, not all three. In that case, you have to use the List*() functions to get
the variables...

Firstly, CF is SERVER-side, JavaScript is CLIENT-site, they are mutually exclusive
Secondly, Why not write the code in CFScript and just run it on the variable?
<CFScript>
y=y+10;
y=y*x;
y=y-z;
</CFScript>
Or whatever... but you can't create and call functions in CFScript.

Double the quotes... <cfset s="say ""hello"""> or <cfset s="say
"hello""> will display the quotes properly (older browsers dislike
" as an output)

#myQuery.ColumnList# is a comma separated list of the fields called in a
query, note that
select * from myTable
fields will be in the order that CF decides.
