title: How do I use Javascript in my Coldfusion page?
body: <p>I have a coldfusion page and I am very newbie in coldfusion. What I need to do is to insert the alert in between to see what is the time. In php I could close the php tags and enter the javascript tag and alert out the value. How would I do that in coldfusion? I have this</p>

          &lt;cfscript&gt;
      alert(#right_now#);
      &lt;/cfscript&gt;
  </code></pre>
