CF Array and JavaScript

variables, arrays, lists, structures created/declared in cf won't be identified in javascripts. Example below:

<cfset x = "some_value">
<cfoutput>
<script language="javascript">
<!--
alert(x);
//-->
</script>
</cfoutput>

The example above will throw an error since x in javascript(which is not defined in js) is not the same as the x in cf.
Instead, for the above code, you need to do this:

<cfset x = "some_value">
<cfoutput>
<script language="javascript">
<!--
alert("#x#"); <!--- notice the number/hash sign. this way, x will be displayed(note: x is still a cf variable and not a js var) --->
//-->
</script>
</cfoutput>

Anyway, what exactly are you trying to do? Can you attach a portion of your code?
