 Re: Server

Go to Adobe: http://www.adobe.com/products/coldfusion/

and download the ColdFusion Server.

 Another question

Being new to coldfusion, which server do I need to download?

 Syntax is correct.

Syntax is correct. Are you sure your ColdFusion server is running?
If you not have installed the server download it from this link (http://www.macromedia.com/cfusion/tdrc/index.cfm?product=coldfusion) , and use 127.0.0.1 as IP.

 <cfoutput>

If I were to type in my text editor:

<cfset name ="Bob">
<cfoutput>#name#</cfoutput>

My web browser displays #name# instead of Bob. Why?
