Example 

<p>This view-only example shows the use of cfhttpparam to show the values 
of passed variables on another HTML reference, accessed by cfhttp. 
The other file could output the value of form.formtest, url.url_test,
cgi.cgi_test, and cookie.cookie_test to prove that this page is working:

<h3>Sample Other File Listing</h3>
<cfoutput>#HTMLCodeFormat("

<html>
<head>
<title>Sample Page</title>
</head>

<body>
<h3>Output the passed variables</h3>
<cfoutput>
  Form variable: ##form.form_test##
  <br>URL variable: ##URL.url_test##
  <br>Cookie variable: ##Cookie.cookie_test##
  <br>CGI variable: ##CGI.cgi_test##
</cfoutput>
</body>
</html>
