coldfusion/javascript question

[lucidtech]

I want to be able to control a div layer like a frame.. without using frames. Basically, what I want is when the user clicks a submit button, it calls a javascript function that writes the innerHTML of the layer. I've gotten this to work using the innerHTML script with java, but I was wondering if anybody has gotten this to work with coldfusion tags. Basically, I want to use the javascript to call a cfinclude tag and load the corresponding template.

Example of what I have that doesn't work....

javascript_functions.js

function temp() {
document.getElementById('price_calc').innerHTML = "<cfinclude template=\"temp.cfm\">";
}

Anyone have any ideas?

This is definitely a job for AJAX. What you're trying in your example code doesn't work because CF is parsed on the server, not the client.
