Here's a method using a UDF... Mike's comments still hold, but this would
create a shorthand way for you to do it whether or not the <cfscript> block
is inside a javascript <script> block or not.
<cfscript>
function jsalert(message, createscriptblock) {
if (createscriptblock) { writeoutput("<script language=""javascript"">"); }
writeoutput("alert('#jsstringformat(message)#');");
if (createscriptblock) { writeoutput("</script>"); }
}
jsalert("Hello World",true);
</cfscript>
<script language="javascript">
<cfoutput>#jsalert("hello world",false)#</cfoutput>
</script>
