I think you guys are all missing the point. The js is running at an entirely different time than the cf. You would make the lock around the session read inside the js just exactly the same as if it was inside say a table cell. You are generating js code, it's not being run at the same time as the cf code. Cf is being run at the server level and js is being run at the client level. Changing the scope around and moving the session read to a different place would be fine, but there is no real problem to begin with. Throw a cflock around the session read inside the js just like you would anywhere else in a page. Now if you have several times during the page load that you're reading from the same session var, then I can see setting a local var to hold it's value to cut down on the locks and reads, but otherwise, it's a waste of time/code.

To go one better you could move it to the request scope so that any custom tags on the page will still have access to it as if it was a session var.
