This is the third time I've tried to reply to your messages ... hope it goes thru this time
It makes sense if what I'm about to say is correct... your code loops over the variable #firstday# 31 times and #firstday# takes the value of the index named "firstday" each time it loops. Now, Tony's code is a bit more refined than mine because it outputs the number of days in the month we're currently in, correct? -----Original Message----- From: Raymond Camden [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Tuesday, February 18, 2003 3:52 PM To: CF-Talk Subject: RE: days in a month To make things easier, let's remove the HTML and just do: <cfloop index="firstday" from=1 to=31> <cfoutput>#firstday#</cfoutput> </cfloop> This looks much simpler, right? The mechanics of this is very simple. The CFLOOP tag simply says to loop from one number to another. In this case, it is from 1 to 31. The index="firstday" means that CF should create a variable, named firstDay, that will hold the current index of the loop.
