Examples Sample code using the cfgrid tag
The CFgrid and related tags offer a LOT of capability and many options, but if you just need a very simple demonstration of a working grid, here you go.

<cfgrid name="grid1" format="html" >
<cfgridcolumn name="col1">
<cfgridrow data="xxx">
</cfgrid>
</cfform> Expected Result: A single-column grid
