Actually I hadn't even noticed the word name in there -- it's not relevant in that
context anyway because that's a coldfusion variable, not a JavaScript variable, so
that's not an issue (although you may want to qualify the variable with the name of
the cfdirectory query, i.e. "cfdir.name" rather than "name".

That's definitely proper syntax for javascript... is it producing a javascript error
now? You might want to turn on script debugging if you're using Internet Explorer to
test this.
... oh...
target may have some affect on it... I know that if you specify a base target for a
page, then any javascript on that page IE will attempt to process relative to or
rather from the target frame... dunno why they do that, I think it's stupid
personally... Anyway, you might try this:
<script language="javascript">
function getMyImage(iName) {
top.mainFrameSet.main.document.frmAddItem.ImageName.value=iName;
top.mainFrameSet.viewer.location.href='viewer.cfm?image='+iName;
}
</script>
<a href="javascript:getMyImage('#jsstringformat(subDir & name)#');">#name#</a>
