Form variables for checkboxes and radio buttons generate errors on action
pages if nothing is selected for the form controls.
Using HTML Tables to Layout Query Results

page. In addition, you can use CFML functions to format individual pieces of data such
as dates and numeric values.
You can use HTML tables to specify how the results of a query appear on a page. To do
so, you put the CFOUTPUT tag inside the table tags. You can also use the HTML TH tag
to put column labels in a header row. To create a row in the table for each row in the
query results, put the TR block inside the CFOUTPUT tag.
