First, in order to get the second example to work, you'd still need to wrap
the #student.name# with quotes. Otherwise the output would be interpreted as
JavaScript instructions.
Second, you'll also want to wrap your output in the jsStringFormat()
function:
<cfoutput>
alert("#jsStringFormat(student.name)#");
</cfoutput>
This will make sure you don't get JS errors if your output contains quotes,
carriage returns and other characters that could break the JavaScript
string.
