I think you're out of luck. If your pages require a client that parses
and executes JavaScript in able to display all the content, cfhttp and
cfdocument won't do that. I've never been able to find a way to easily
execute JavaScript and collect the rendered HTML on the server.

Subject: CFDOCUMENT src="" and Dynamic HTML

Is there any way to capture a rendered page that uses DHTML? I have a
simple
test case where I use some JS to do a document.write('test') to the
page and
then use CFDOCUMENT to grab the page via the src attribute. But none of
the
dynamic content is ever rendered. Has any one had any success with
this?
The only workaround I can think of, and its convoluted and I am not
even
sure it would work:
1. Create a Unique ID server side and write a database entry for the
content to fetch
2. Call cfdocument or cfhttp to fetch the page, passing the uniqueID.
3. On the page, include an ajax call back to send back to the server
the documents innerHTML (which should be the dynamic output) along with
the
uniqueID
4. The server (polls?) gets the new HTML from the database and uses it
with CFDOCUMENT to create the page.
