A fairly common practice is to use an initial page to gather
browser/platform/display/etc. characteristics with JavaScript. Then
pass that to your CF program, which then tailers further pages to the
environment.
It may help to have a "loading" indication on this page...
Also some noscript text telling the user to turn JavaScript on.
