<!--- This example shows how CFOUTPUT operates --->
<!--- run a sample query --->
<CFQUERY NAME="GetCourses" DATASOURCE="cfsnippets">

</CFQUERY>

<H3>CFOUTPUT Example</H3>
<P>CFOUTPUT simply tells ColdFusion Server
to begin processing, and then to hand back control
of page rendering to the web server.
<P>For example, to show today's date, you could write
#DateFormat("#Now()#").
If you enclosed that expression
in CFOUTPUT, the result would be <CFOUTPUT>#DateFormat(Now())#
</CFOUTPUT>.
<P>In addition, CFOUTPUT may be used to show the results of
a query operation, or only a partial result, as shown:
<P>There are <CFOUTPUT>#getCourses.recordCount#</CFOUTPUT> total records
in our query.
Using the MAXROWS parameter, we are limiting our
display to 4 rows.
<P>
<CFOUTPUT QUERY="GetCourses" MAXROWS=4>
<PRE>#Dept_ID##CorName##CorLevel#</PRE>
</CFOUTPUT>
<P>CFOUTPUT can also show the results of a more complex expression,
such as getting the day of the week from today's date.
We first
extract the integer representing the Day of the Week from
the server function Now() and then apply the result to
the DayofWeekAsString function:
<BR>Today is #DayofWeekAsString(DayofWeek(Now()))#
<BR>Today is <CFOUTPUT>#DayofWeekAsString(DayofWeek(Now()))#</CFOUTPUT>
<P>
