yes, however to not "hard code" the number of days, what I did, gets around that (although its very elementary, but it makes it a dynamic value)

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.
