I'm doing a lot of detection and loading code and style
sheets based on what browser is being used, but it's a steady pain to
keep up with what works and what doesn't.
That's why you shouldn't do browser detection, you should do feature detection.
For HTML5, here's a guide to doing that:

Richard you could always use the cfsavecontent to build the SQL, and then

But you should also be using cfqueryparam with anything from forms and url,
essentially anything that is or could be from user input.
