cfscript and js disabled browsers

[Newsgroup_User]

Hi All

I can't seem to find a definitive answer to this question so can anyone
answer me. will the JavaScript written inside a <cfscript> block still run
if the client has JavaScript disabled in their browser. I guess I mean. Will
this JavaScript be run by the server or is it still sent to the browser??

TY

Your question begs a question, what do you mean by the JavaScript
written inside a <cfscript> block?


Because, the CFML script that is used inside a <cfscript> block IS NOT
JAVASCRIPT. YES, the CFML script will run, it is part of the CF server
side stuff that builds the response that is returned to the requesting
browser.

Now it is of course quite simple to use CFML script to generate dynamic
JavaScript that is returned with the response to be run on the client.
And, of course, this JavaScript will not run on browsers with JavaScript
disabled.

Javascript = client side
<cfscript> = server side

CFScript is just a different set of logic control structures for CFML,
nothing more. The processing it does is identical, and the end result is
the same. All output from any CF processing is passed back to the
webserver and then to the browser, and it's up to the browser to decide how
to deal with it (render it, execute it, ignore it, etc).

CFScript has nothing to do with server-side JavaScript.
