Well,... yes and no =) Javascript runs on the browser, so coldfusion doesn't know squat about what you do on the browser. Of course, theoretically, you could use javascript to set session variables on the server using cfajax... but that'd be a lot of work and seems like it might be overkill... you'd have to make an ajax call to the server, and when it returned true, use javascript in the result function to relocate to the new page. You'd probably be better off using javascript to set a cookie, then read the cookie on the next page. And since session variables (generally) require cookies to be enabled (does anyone use cfid/cftoken stuff in the urls???), you'd probably be okay doing that. Of course, submitting to an intermediary page first and then cflocating to the new url is probably the most RELIABLE.
