Based on your example, I see no reason why you need to use WDDX at all.  If
you're just trying to pass a simple JS variable to ColdFusion all you need
to do is create a hidden form field and then set the value of that field via
JavaScript.  When the form is submitted the JS value will be passed to CF.

Remember that JS runs on the client, so you're going to need a way to pass
the value back to the server (where CF is running).  A form post is a simple
way of doing this.  Another way would be via a URL variable using a
JavaScript redirect.

Let me know if the above explanation makes sense, or if you need more
detail.
