The only way to set a CF variable from JS is to have some kind of page reload. For example, via JavaScript, you can make the page reload while appending URL vars. So, I can make the page go from index.cfm to index.cfm?var=X, where X is some JS value. CF would then be able to look at url.var. If you don't want the page to reload, you can use hidden frames, iframes, layers, etc, but, the point is, since JS is client side, you MUST have some kind of communication back to the server in order to give the data to CF.
