SQL programmers don't touch presentation - no one really touches it - its CF that does typesetting - its automatic as far as HTML form formatting is concerned.
Thus I said CF as a presentation engine - CF does the presentation of data spitted out by SQL server based on some settings passed in the result set. Interesting part is that CF code is almost never modified and it doesn't do anything but interpretation of SQL server provided data.
