FYI - sometimes people find themselves running the same loop over and over
again in a page. For example if you have a page that lets the user pick 4
or 5 different dates then you might find yourself looping over the days in a
month 4 or 5 times. In times like this it is much faster to run the loop
once and record the results to a string, then use the string in 4 or 5
different places....

Subject: days in a month
Hello. I'm trying to simplify the code for a drop down list of total #
of possible days in a month (31). to look something like what I'm using
to display months in a year, which looks like this:
<select name="firstmonth" size="1">
<cfloop index="firstmonth" FROM="1" TO="12">
<cfoutput>
<option value="#firstmonth#">#MonthasString(firstmonth)#
</cfoutput>
</cfloop>
</option>
</select>
I tried the code below but it only returns the number 31 in the drop
down box (I'm not sure this function was meant for this type of thing
anyway):
<select name="firstday">
<cfloop index="firstday" FROM="1" TO="31">
<cfoutput>
<option value="#firstday#">#daysinmonth(firstday)#
</cfoutput>
</cfloop>
</option>
</select>
