[thelist] Html question on coldfusion v2

And you always need to close <CFIF> tags thus:

<cfif>
...
<cfelseif expression>
...
<cfelseif expression>
...
<cfelse>
...
</cfif>

That should do it.

Also I'd highly recommend avoiding using field / variable names  like URL.
It won't (I can't remember if it does in CF2) make a difference here but it
could make a big difference in the future.  Remember ColdFusion uses URL as
a scope for URL parameters.


<tip type="variable naming conventions" author="Chris Hayes">
To avoid accidentally stumbling across a reserved word, try prefixing
your field or variable names with some thing unique to you or the project.

eg instead of
    URL = "http://...
try
    ruiURL= "http://...

Naturally research any existing naming conventions for the language you're
using.
