Shall I be the first?
No. CF is server-side... it processes first and then sends the resulting
document to the client where it can be processed by whatever client side
languages it contains.
Javascript is client-side. It will process AFTER any ColdFusion code has
already been done with.
The only way you can have Javascript "send back" to a coldfusion process is
to use JS to either set a value into a form and then process that form via
coldfusion, or use a hidden frame of some sort.
To put it ultra simply, that hidden frame process with CF and the resulting
hidden document can refresh the visible one (causeing a page reload), or can
just sit, holding information in some way that the JS on the visible doc can
access (like form fields).
