No. CF is simply not capable of doing anything "on the client", and unless
the client supplies the time via a CGI, FORM or URL variable, CF has no idea
what time it is on the client. If you want to do something like this, you'll
have to use JavaScript. It's easy to do this kind of stuff in JavaScript.
It's important to remember what exactly CF does. It can do lots of nifty
things, but in the end, it generates ASCII text output. That's it. It's a
server-side scripting language, or an "application server" if you will. It
doesn't communicate directly with the client in any meaningful way - that's
done by the web server, which sits between the client and CF.
