Hi guys,
I'm using coldfusion for our work site, and really getting to like it. I'm setting up a system for the front page that shows users the last 3 links they've clicked, so they can easily go back to where they were when they last visited.

Most of the pages are completely written, so what I want is to literally paste a chunk of coldfusion into each page that sets a new cookie for that page, but I also want to include the title of the page, so that each link is meaningful, instead of a just a URL.

So is there any way of extracting the value from a page element, similar to javascript's - document.title?

Or, is there a way of evaluating javascript code within the <cfset> tag, i.e. <cfset page_title="javascript: 'return document.title'">?

Cheers
