of the URL parameter (you can make up any name you like). Note the name of the URL parameter because you'll use
it in the delete page later.
The expression after the equal sign is the value of the parameter. In this case, the value is generated by a ColdFusion
expression that returns a record ID from the recordset. A different ID is generated for each row in the dynamic table.
In the ColdFusion expression, replace
with the name of the field in your recordset that uniquely identifies each record. In most cases, the field will consist
of a record ID number. In the following example, the field consists of unique location codes:
confirmDelete.cfm?recordID=#rsLocations.CODE#
When the page runs, the values of the recordset's CODE field are inserted in the corresponding rows in the dynamic
table. For example, if the Canberra, Australia, rental location has the code CBR, the following URL is used in the
Canberra row in the dynamic table:
confirmDelete.cfm?recordID=CBR
