Passing Javascript to ColdFusion variables?

Asked by RussoMA in ColdFusion Application Server, ColdFusion Studio

Tags: javascript, coldfusion, variable

I have a parent window, spawning a child window with an onChange open() command to open a separate window when a textbox in a cfinput statement changes...

Parent Window:
<cfinput name="myinput" type="text" onchange="open('insurance.cfm', 'prevWin', 'status,width=640,height=500,scrollbars=yes');">

In the spawned child window ('prevWin') I am performing this onload:

<script language="JavaScript">
<!--
function getsearch() {
myvalue=window.opener.pathdemo.myinput.value;
}
//-->
</script>
<body onLoad="getsearch();">

i am wondering how i can call that "myvalue" into play in a cfquery such that i could do a

SELECT * From searchtable
WHERE searchterm like '%myvalue%'

I have attempted to call: <cfset myvariable = myvalue>  

i only need to know how to reference back to the javascript variable as i am used to only working wtih CF variables, not JS...

time is of the essence on getting this small answer.
