mixing coldfusion and javascript question on creating registration wizard

I am trying to write a registration wizard for users using <cfswitch><cfcase>. 1st case, user inserts name 2nd case user inserts email address 3rd case user chooses continent from a drop-down menu. this drop down menu should dynamically load a country menu and the country menu should dynamically load a country region menu. The wizard works fine until the 3rd stage. Just after choosing the continent, I am getting an object not defined error in firebug. The dynamic menus work fine on their own. They are made with the qform javascript libraries. It is just when they begin to interact with the wizard (and more specifically, cfswitch) that these errors begin to show up. I will insert my code here. Any help is genuinely appreciated.
