A secure hash might be what the doctor ordered. CF could send a hashed version of the "answer" then you could run js code to hash the users input before the compare.
Here is one site that has some JS hash algorithms. http://pajhome.org.uk/crypt/md5/ The only problem is you will need to analyze the JS code and create a CF counterpart. It would take a bit of work on your part, but I think outside of an Ajax solution it is your best bet. > >You will need to explain more on waht you want to do, if you > processing the > >page at runtime the #variable# will still work.
