I don't think CF is what you want to use here... Since it is run server side, what you are attempting to do would require a round trip to the server. Try checking out the TwoSelectsRelated tag at the Allaire Developers Exchange. This should do what you want.
Alternately you can roll your own using javascript. I think I have a script from one of my sites that I can send to you if you'd like. Jeff Garza Lead Developer/Webmaster Spectrum Astro, Inc.
