Save the page as actionpage.cfm in the myapps directory.
3
View the formpage.cfm page in your browser.
4
Enter data, for example, Smith, in the Last Name box and submit the form.
The browser displays a line with the first and last name and salary for each entry in the database that match the
name you typed, followed by a line with the text “Contractor: Yes”.
5
Click Back in your browser to redisplay the form.
6
Remove the check mark from the check box and submit the form again.
This time an error occurs because the check box does not pass a variable to the action page. For information on
modifying the actionpage.cfm page to fix the error, see “
Testing for a variable’s existence
” on page 709.
