Before we finish this chapter, there is something you should be aware of. Look at the following code:
<!--- Get a movie from database ---> <cfquery name="movie" datasource="ows"> SELECT FilmID, MovieTitle, PitchText, Summary, DateInTheaters, AmountBudgeted FROM Films WHERE FilmID=#URL.FilmID# </cfquery>
Chapter 3, "Accessing the ColdFusion Administrator," I mentioned the debugging screens (and told you that we'd use them in this chapter). The debugging screens can be used to append debug output to the bottom of generated pages, as seen in Figure 10.19.
Chapter 3 for instructions on turning on debug output. Once enabled, execute any page in your browser and the debug output will be appended automatically.
If you are browsing files within Dreamweaver the debug output will be displayed in the results window beneath the editor.
Most ColdFusion developers find that the tags you have learned thus far, <cfquery>, <cfoutput>, <cfset>, <cfif>, and <cflocation>, account for almost all the CFML code they ever write. As such, it's highly recommended that you try every example in this chapter before proceeding.
