The syntax of cfscript is an implementation of the C/C++/Java/JavaScript
syntax ...
the problem you're running into isn't syntactical tho... You're trying to
reference elements of the JavaScript Document Object Model (DOM) on the
ColdFusion ( before the code reaches the browser ) where they don't exist
yet. The DOM is a JavaScript representation of the browser and what's it
contains.
CF or CFScript doesn't have a browser DOM because CF doesn't really know
anything about the browser or what it contains -- that's not it's job, it's
only job is to pass HTML and other client-side scripting to the browser for
it to interpret.
