cfinvoke inside cfscript
I need to invoke a cffunction from inside a cfscript.
<cfscript>
// to unlock record when browse away
function UnlockRecord()
{
// <cfinvoke component="control.cfc.bas ic" method="ReleaseLock" section="Individuals" recordID= "#val(form.indivNum)#" returnvariable="Release" />;
Return;
}
</cfscript>
I'm getting an error about the cfscript tag needing an ending tag.

Return;
}

You can't. Using regular CF tags inside cfscript is not allowed. Either use CreateObject() as Erik suggested, or create a CFFunction that does the cfinvoke call. Then call that function from within your <cfscript>.

Actually now that I look at the code more closely ... why do you need a function for this? You're already using a CFC _with_ a function?

When I exit a page, I have some "browse away" code and if the user clicks on the back button the code to unlock the record they were just in gets bypassed. I need to execute that unlock function but I'm in browse away javascript when it happens.
Well you can't execute CF code from javascript anyway. CF runs on the server, and javascript on the client (browser). So you'd have to use ajax to do another request to the server to run that code anyway.

good point. Maybe the best thing would be to disable the back button. But I think I would get the same problem if they just closed the tab/page.
