Cold fusion will error if you use a single # inside a cfoutput or
certain tags. In order to use a single # you need to escape it with
another #.
Example: john{font-family:"Lucida Grande"; font-size:9px; color:
##FF0000}

Hi, I am trying to add styles to a cfmail app. This is just testing, as
the final one will look like a web-page, but be delivered over e0,ail
using cfmail. I see this all the time, and even hostmysite sends me
mails like this.
Is there a reason why I can't use color:#FF0000 for red? when I have red
in the color in the style tag, it works, and sends the mail, but if I
use the color code, I get an CF error.
--------Error Message----------------
Invalid CFML construct found on line 16 at column 74.
ColdFusion was looking at the following text:
}
The CFML compiler was processing:
An expression that began on line 16, column 67.
The expression might be missing an ending #, for example, #expr instead
of #expr#.
The body of a cfmail tag beginning on line 1, column 2.
The error occurred in /Users/johnbarrett/Sites/primitive/CSS_Email.cfm:

14 : body{font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;font-size:18px}
15 : logo{font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;

16 : john{font-family:"Lucida Grande"; font-size:9px;
color:#FF0000}
