Kris,
As I'm sure several people will point out, most likely before my response,
you are confusing <cfscript> with <script>. <cfscript> is intended to run
*server-side* ColdFusion commands only, not client-side, which is where
Javascript comes into play. These are two completely different monsters, and
are not interchangeable, as you're trying to do in your examples. You do not
have access to the DOM using <cfscript> because, as I said, the code within
<cfscript> is only run on the server. Using <cfscript> is the same as typing
<cfset varname = "value"> -- both are processed via the CF engine, not the
client's browser.
Furthermore, in <cfscript>, you cannot use any ColdFusion tags. You can only
use built-in CF functions, modified loop syntax, variable setting, and
user-defined functions.
Hope this helps you out a bit.
Regards,
Dave.
