The page will have to be reloaded. CF is a server side language. and thus
can only be run when there is a request made to the server.
Now what you can do is have say a hidden frame, and use JS to reference
back and forth between the two. You push the submit button, it sends the
data to the hidden frame, that page hits the server. When it returns JS
will send the new data back to the front page. But this a lot more trouble
than it is worth.
If I were you I would just reload the page. The only other way that I know
of would be write a Java applet that communicates with the DB server to run
queries directly. This would get messy as well.
