Cold fusion is pretty much a one-way relationship on the server-side. Coldfusion can help create javascript, but once on the browser, only javascript is available to the resulting code. Javascript CAN call a coldfusion page on the server and return its results, but that isn't exactly the same thing.
<script> Function changeText() { var idvalue = document.getElementById('idname').innerText; var newtext = "The original text was " + idvalue + ", but now it has changed"; document.getElementById('idname').innerText = newtext; } </script> <span id="idname">First Text</span><br> <a href="javascript:changeText()">Change Text</a> Hope this helps, William -- William E.

You can pass a variable from say a JavaScript into a span id= and have it parse out on a page? Is this true? If it is, I didn't know that. My realy question comes where I want to take that variable and bring it into a CF variable, like passinig it into a form action parameter. Has anyone worked with something like this?
