WriteOutput

Appends text to the page output stream. Although you can call this function anywhere 
within a page, it is most useful inside a CFSCRIPT block.

When within the CFQUERY and CFMAIL tags, the WriteOutput function 
does not output to the current page, but instead writes to the current SQL 
statement or mail text. Do not use WriteOutput within CFQUERY and 
CFMAIL.

This function writes to the page output stream regardless of conditions established by 
the 

CFSETTING

 tag.

WriteOutput(

string

Text to be appended to the page output stream.
