The first method would be something like so:
<script src=""> <script>
x = js_string_set_in_pageB.cfm;
</script>
The second would be something like so:
<script>
var TargetString
document.getElementById("myIFrame").src = ""> </script>
And Page be would be something like this:
... some CF Code ...
<script>
window.parent.TargetString = "#Some Value#";
</script>
(Notice the variable is being set in the IFrame itself - this way you don't have to worry about the Asynchronous issues, and can even call functions on the parent page (which you sometimes have to do to make sure the values you are working with stay in the proper memory scope - it's a pain to refer to a variable that was set in a window/iframe that was then closed or changed).
I would recommend one of the above two methods, but would also suggest exploring the XML.
Hope this helps.

Interesting......can't hurt to try it out! Only drawbacsk seems to be how different browsers handle the IFRAME element.
Thanks Mark.......
(P.S- To others reading this message- I'd still be interested to know if you've got a different take on this issue...(no offense to you Mark))
