Editing data in a CFGRID

To enable grid editing, you use the SELECTMODE="EDIT" attribute. When enabled, a
user can edit cell data and insert or delete grid rows. When a CFFORM containing a
CFGRID is submitted, data about changes to grid cells are stored in one-dimensional
arrays you can reference like any other ColdFusion array.
To make the grid editable:
1. Open the file
2. Edit the file so that it appears as follows:
<CFQUERY NAME="empdata" DATASOURCE="CompanyInfo">
</CFQUERY>
<CFFORM NAME="GridForm"
in Studio.
