Other Language Using Javascript

I am doing a project where you click on a location on a map, and Coldfusion will query a database for that location. I got everything to work right, except for the fact that the coldfusion tags are being ignored. I have a function that sets a td tag's innerHTML to display the query results.

<map name="arizona">
<area shape="rect" coords="40,124,90,148" href="#" onClick="displaylocation('25')">
</map>

function displaylocation(location){
	el = document.getElementById("location");
	el.innerHTML = "<cfquery datasource='spi' name='getlocations'>SELECT * FROM spi_div WHERE id='"+location+"'</cfquery><p><cfoutput query='getlocations'>#street#<br>#city# #st# #zip#<br>Phone - #phone#<br>Fax - #fax#</cfoutput>";
}

When executed it displays the data, but only the "SELECT * FROM spi_div..." coldfusion commands along with the variables below. Does innerHTML ignore server side languages and do HTML only?

server side languages are interpreted on the server at render time. you cannot do a client-side replace of a tag's innerHTML and expect the server to parse it.
