Tom,
Cold fusion by default does not send anything to the browser until it is done
processing the page. CFLocation at the end says "Forget about everything that you've
created so far and redirect the user to this other page."
You can do two things (among others, I am sure):
If you are using CF 5.0, you can use <CFFlush> after the javascript gig to force CF to
send the output to the browsers, BUT I would think that a subsequent CFLocation will
leave output that is already sent to the browser.
Your other option is to use a flag that you pass on the url to the page you are
CFLocating to and have that page load whatever page you were trying to load by use of
javascript earlier in the first page. Something like <CFLocation
URL="mynewpage.cfm?openotherpage=1"> and have mynewpage.cfm check
IsDefined('URL.OpenOtherPage') and do the javascript there.
