Topic awaiting preservation: cold fusion: date format master & detail page (Page 1 of 1)

good day Y'all

I have just finished my fisrt ever cold fusion page. I am quite thrilled about this.
However, there remains a problem:

The purpose is a news system that shows the first three headlines and their date on the master page.

Now instead of

23.07.2002 - World beer supplies to run out in 2012

i get a really ugly date format

2002-07-23 00:00:00.0 - World beer supplies to run out in 2012

Now, don't take the headline so seriously ;-)...

How do I get this to work the way i want? The cf is running on my local server BTW.

All I can say is this - RTFM!

DateFormat() function
TimeFormat() function

BTW ColdFusion is *evil*...

Thanx mr.max! It works just fine now.

If you don't mind telling me: Why is cold fusion evil?
I've tried it for a few days now and i much prefer it over asp.

<´¯`·.¸ Patric ¸.·´¯`>

Well, for a start ColdFusion has *extremely* ugly syntax. The same can be said for ASP, which is also *evil*.

You should really take a look at PHP. You'll never go back to CF or ASP afterwards...
