Rick, I have shared CF variables with JavaScript too. What I usually do is this:
If I have to do any processes to define the CF variables, I put them at the top of the document, above the <head> section. Then, in the <head> section of my CFM page, I add a <cfoutput> inside a <script> tag and pass all of the desired CF variables into JavaScript variables. I make sure this is defined before I load any external JavaScript files and call any JavaScript functions. This way my JavaScript files retain their ".js" extension.
