Thanks a ton!! This was the solution I was looking for. You get the up arrow on Google for this one.

Put in the blog title that you have a solution in addition to your rant? FREDTERP

@Sam – Thanks for pointing that out. I had no idea!

@Doug: No worries.

Another goodie in the CF JavaScript library that is easy to overlook is:

ColdFusion.getElementValue(elementId [, formId, attributeName])

which returns the value (or text based on the third argument) of any element.
