Hello, clueless newbie here...

I found a really fabulous photo gallery page that I want to use on my
website. It seems to be written in Java and the file type is .cfm. I have
figured out that it's a Cold Fusion extension but am unsure what that means.

Can I use this same bit of code in an html document and have it basically do
the same thing once I change the references for the images?

It seems like each photo has it's own page but not being sure of how .cfm
files work I don't know if this is true.

Can anyone help me use this lovely photo page style in a FP web?

Thank you ;-)
 
Cold Fusion is a server-side technology similar to ASP. Cold Fusion files
have a .cfm extension, just as ASP pages have a .asp extension. This informs
the web server of what ISAPI to use to process the script.

An HTML page (.htm, .html) is a static page. As such, you can't do anything
with an HTML document that you can do with a dynamic document created by a
server-side technology such as Cold Fusion.
