JavaScript variables exist on he client side, CF variables exist on
the server side.
The usual way you pass information from the client to the server is
via form fields or URL parameters.
So, you must first place the JavaScript-generated values into form
variables or a URL variables with associated names.
Then, when you submit the form or "link" the URL the variabkes are
passed as Name/Value pairs.
When your CF routine is invoked, the Name/value pairs are available as either
form.variablename
or
URL.variablename
or
variablename
where variablename is the name of the field in the form or in the URL
