Question : Trying to entegrate CFML and Javascript

I am trying to get the milonic javascript to work on my website. The script's website is http://www.milonic.com/


my website is www.graceforcleveland.org


I have fully configured the script to work with my site, it took a while but it it working.

As a part of script architecture - it references a page that is called menu_data.js


this page looks like the following:

========


fixMozillaZIndex=true; //Fixes Z-Index problem  with Mozilla browsers but causes odd scrolling problem, toggle to see if it helps
_menuCloseDelay=500;
_menuOpenDelay=150;
_subOffsetTop=2;
_subOffsetLeft=-2;
buildAfterLoad=true;

I have renamed this file mod_menu_data.cfm

the developer said that I should be able to rename the file - and it does still work when I upload this to the server.

However - when I try to add any CFML markup - it breaks the script and it does not show up.

I want to add a query

<cfparam name="use_directory" default="this">

<cfquery datasource="DSN_Vineyard" name="getpages">
      select distinct LOWER(pagename) as pagename
      from text_modules
      where church_id = <cfqueryparam cfsqltype="cf_sql_integer" value="#church_id#">
      <cfif fornav is "bottom">and bottomnav ='Y' <cfelseif fornav is "top">and topnav='Y'</cfif>
</cfquery>



and then retool it's output into the javascript parameters to make it static

the old code, for example (which just generates a line of links) is

<cfoutput query="getpages">
      <cfset dp = pagename>
      <cfset dp = Replace(dp,"_"," ","ALL")>
      <cfif use_directory is "this"><a href="dy_page.cfm?pagename=#pagename#">#dp#</a> -
      <cfelse><a href="../dy_page.cfm?pagename=#pagename#">#dp#</a> -
      </cfif>
</cfoutput>

I know how to code the integration - I just need to know what I am am doing wrong in regards to breaking the script. Is there a certain kind of markup that I need???


any help is greatly appreciated

> I have renamed this file mod_menu_data.cfm

If you run the page mod_menu_data.cfm it errors because the cfquery uses a variable named #church_id#, but it's not defined. If that page requires 1 or more parameters, try passing them in the <link..> url:

    <script type="text/javascript" src="mod_menu_data.cfm?church_id=3"></script>

You might also want to set default values for all parameters, to avoid errors if they're not defined for some reason
