Mark,
I do a similar thing all the time. What you do is put your HTML output into
a variable, then you write the contents of the variable to a file.
<CFSET temp = "">
<CFOUTPUT QUERY="myQuery>
<CFSET temp = ListAppend(temp, "<HTML><HEAD><TITLE>#myPageTitle#</TITLE>",
"^")>
<CFSET temp = ListAppend(temp, "<BODY><TABLE><TR><TD>", "^")>
. . . . So on and so forth
Just remember to double quote any quotes in the HTML you're building to
escape them. Example would be in HTML tags.
I like using a carrot "^" for a delimiter because it's rater unique and
hardly ever used in a page. If it is, then you have to use something else.
Then you write the "temp" variable to an HTML file:
<CFFILE ACTION="WRITE"
FILE="d:\inetpub\wwwroot\yourdirectory\somefile.html"
OUTPUT="#Replace(temp, "^", "#Chr(13)#", "ALL")#"
ADDNEWLINE="No">
Works like a charm.

Subject: Creating a file from a web page
I want to take a query output, format it as HTML page and save it as a
downloadable HTML document. I don't need to display the page in the browser
window.
1) Would CFSilent hide the HTML from view?
2) How would I create the HTML file, in other words:
c:\inetput\mysite\docs\filedate_filetime.htm (I know how to do the
filedate_filetime). Would I Use CFFile, or is there a better mechanism?
Thanks,
Mark Leder
