JavaScript is great for what you're trying to do. My rule of thumb is that you use
JavaScript only for non-mission-critical applications.

JavaScript can really help you to develop more scalable applications, by
offloading the processing from the server to the client. As for what should
be done by CF and JavaScript, it really varies.

Interesting question...
Some things to consider (in no particular order):
1. CFML is probably a better choice for manipulating SQL query data
because it has tags (cfoutput, cfloop, etc.) which are designed to
work with/augment the SQL query results (grouping, indexing an entire
row, etc.).
2
Personally i'd do the summing grouping etc on the dB server, and have more
simple queries at the client end.
