No. How's that?
The only thing that CF does (please excuse the slight understatement) is
generate ASCII text. This text can contain HTML, JavaScript, literal text,
CSS, DHTML, and lots of other stuff. Making boxes pop up, or doing anything
at all in the browser for that matter, requires the use of some technology
that the browser knows what to do with; you can use CF to generate the text
that the browser uses, but what the browser does with that text doesn't have
anything to do with CF. The browser doesn't even know anything about CF; all
it knows is that it made a URL request, and got back some text.
