Outputting the Data in th218 Page

When it loads, dante_quiz_results.cfm now has two variables available in its URL (that is, as a querystring). In this task, you'll output those two variables into th218 page.

The other pages of the site are finished, so this is the last page you'll need to work on. It needs to accomplish two things: provide feedback, in the form of a quiz score, to the user; and insert a new record into the database.
