No, not exactly. CFSCRIPT, like any other CFML code, runs on your server, not in the browser. As such, it'll be run before the browser receives any client-side instructions such as HTML or JavaScript. The only way you can send data from JavaScript to the server is to programmatically instruct the browser to request another page. However, you can get the general effect that you want by using multiple frames, or by using images as "data pipes" (http://www.depressedpress.com/DepressedPress/Content/ColdFusion/Essays/GIFA sPipe/Index.cfm), or by using JavaScript to invoke functionality within the browser that lets you programmatically request a page (http://www.fusionscript.com/).
