Couple things I forgot to mention:
1) Yeah, books are boring, but Ben's book is outstanding and you can learn a
lot from it. It is laid out very well, and covers things you really need to
know (like this.)
2) You're including the header inside of cfoutput that is query driven -
this will generate multiple <head> tag blocks... Probably a BAD idea,
unless you know you're going to only have one record coming back from the
query - still probably a bad idea. Looking again at the code, you'll
probably not run into multiple records coming back as you specified a where
statement in your SQL, but, it's a bad practice to get in.
3) Try to keep what's inside a cfoutput block to a minimum, everything
inside a <cfoutput> block, as the server has to parse everything inside of
that and it will slow your application down.
