</cfquery>
<table border cellspacing=0 cellpadding=5>
<tr>

Open graphdata.cfm in ColdFusion Studio.
Edit the tag for the pie chart so it appears as follows:
cfgraph
<cfgraph type="pie"
query="DeptSalaries"
valueColumn="SumByDept"
itemColumn="Dept_Name"
URL="Salary_Details.cfm?Dept_Name="
URLColumn="Dept_Name"
Description
Get the salary data for the
department whose name
was passed in the URL
parameter string. Sort the
data by the employee's last
and first names.
Display the data retrieved
by the query as a table.
Format the start date into
standard month/date/year
format, and format the
salary with a leading dollar
sign comma separator, and
no decimal places.
