Ethan,
A CF variable only exists on the server, a JavaScript onChange event only
exists on the browser. Therefore the statement that you showed will not
work. You can however use a JavaScript function to change the action
attribute of a form or the href of an anchor tag and append the variable and
it's value as url variables that are available on the server.
Another alternative would be to use WDDX which would allow you to pass
values back and forth between the CF environment on the server and the
JavaScript environment of the browser.
