Subject: Re: verify a password

OK, Lets start with the real crux of your problem.  You are mixing client-side and server-side technologies and that will not work.
 
Your JavaScript section is client-side technology and your ColdFusion is server-side technologies. What you need to do is perform your test (just like you are doing) set a variable that is passed to the login page and when you redirect them to the login page test for that variable and display an error message that says passwords are case sensitive.  You do not need JavaScript to do that.  You can do it all with ColdFusion.
 
Action page:

<cfif #Compare(Password1,Password2)#>  //You can use this "short cut code" 
        <!--- Password is correct. --->
        <cflocation url="choices.htm">
<cfelse> 
      <!--- Passwords do not match --->

        <cflocation url="login.cfm?pwd=0">

        <cflocation url="login.cfm">
</cfif>

 

On the login page:

<cfif IsDefined("URL.PWD"> //This will only be true if the passwords submitted previously do not match

        Passwords are case sensitive

</cfif>
