<P>Often HTMLCodeFormat and HTMLEditFormat are used so that you can store 
textbox information in the database in HTML form. Here is an example that 
uses HTMLEditFormat to edit descriptive information found within the 
CFExpress database. Because you may not want to change the database, the 
CFQUERY statement that inserts the values into the database is commented 
out.

     VALUES('#form.employee_id_float#','#form.thread_id_float#',

    </CFQUERY>

To simplify this example, set employee_id to represent a new employee to 
join the group, set thread_id to indicate a new thread, and pass these 
values as hidden form values.
