Not in this manner. ColdFusion runs on the the server and JavaScript
runs on the client and never shall the two meet.

You can use ColdFusion to build dynamic JavaScript, a very powerful
tool. But to have JavaScript populate a ColdFusion variable, a new
request to the server must somehow be made. Any and all the methods to
making an HTTP request are valid either has GET or POST requests through
page refreshes, AJAX calls, whatever you care to do. But you must do
something to have the client send a request to the server.

Hi

You can assign the coldfusion variable to javascript

<script>
var fname=<cfoutput>#firstname#</cfoutput>;

</script>
