How to call a .cfc using jQuery?

How to call a .cfc using jQuery?

I'm trying to create and call a cold fusion component(.cfc) file and use jquery to pass my query info.  Am i doing this correctly in Coldfusion7.  Everytime i click the Finalize button nothing happens and I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong.  How do I fix this?

The following is in form.cfm:


 <script src="http://code.jquery.com/jquery-1.9.1.min.js"></script>
<script src="http://code.jquery.com/jquery-migrate-1.1.0.js"></script>
    <script language="javascript" type="text/javascript">
    function aalidateFunding(awardTotals){
     $.ajax({
         url: 'awardTotals.cfc',
      data: {method: 'searchAward',  grandtotal: GrandTotal},
      success: function(data) {
      if (isTotals == true) { alert('There is a match');} else { alert('This does not match);}
      }
     });
    }











......etcetera
 
<input type="button" name="Finalize" value="Finalize" onClick="return validateFunding();"/>

This is my awardTotal.cfc.

    <cfcomponent>
     <cffunction name="myFunction" access="public" returntype="Query">
      <cfargument name="awardTotals" type="string" required="true">
      <cfquery name="searchAward" datasource="Test">
       SELECT g.Code1 + g.Code2 + g.Code3 + g.Code4 AS GrandTotal
                  FROM Codes g
                 WHERE g.CodeNumber = <cfqueryparam cfsqltype="cf_sql_varchar"  value="#argument.CodeNum#">
                  AND g.TestYear = <cfqueryparam cfsqltype="cf_sql_varchar" value="#argument.TestYear#">
                  AND g.SelType = <cfqueryparam cfsqltype="cf_sql_varchar" value="#argument.SelType#"> 
                       AND g.Jurisdiction = <cfqueryparam cfsqltype="cf_sql_varchar" value="#argument.SelJuris#"> 
             </cfquery> 









           <cfscript>
              if(arguments.awardTotals = searchAward){
                 return true;
              } else {
                 return false;
              }
           </cfscript>
         </cffunction>
    </cfcomponent>
