138 Using Arrays and Structures
Set default values of all form fields so
that they exist the first time this page is
displayed and can be tested.
Test the value of the form’s firstname
field. This field is required. The test is
False the first time the page displays.
If there is no data in the Form.firstname
variable, display a message requesting
the user to fill the form.
If Form.firstname contains text, the user
submitted the form.
Use CFScript to create a new structure
named employee and fill it with the form
field data.
Then display the contents of the
structure
