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.
Make sense?
