Output Format in HTML

Can anyone tell me what to tell CF in order to get the following
results in HTML?

Region 1
Hotel xxxxxxxx
Meals xxxxxxxx
Airfare xxxxxxxx

Subtotal: xxxxxxxx

Region 2
Hotel xxxxxxxx
Meals xxxxxxxx
Airfare xxxxxxxx

Subtotal: xxxxxxxxx

Grandtotal: xxxxxxxxxxx

I found that the group command does not work within a cftable tag or
at least I can`t make it work....

Output Format in HTML

Morris,

How familiar are you with HTML? I ask because you might not want to use
the CFTABLE tag for your project. It`s a great shortcut, but sometimes
you have to dive into HTML to get exactly what you want. The grouping
attribute will work in conjunction w/CFOUTPUT and you can output your
table rows using it to get the desired result. Also, it looks like
you`ll need to make use of aggregate functions in SQL to get the columns
of figures to `pre-add` before being output by CF.

I hope this helps a little. If you don`t already have Ben Forta`s
marvelous "Cold Fusion 4 Web Application Construction Kit" book, I`d
highly recommend it. He assumes you are starting pretty much from
scratch with CF, and does a great job of explaining solutions to
problems very much like yours. And no, I don`t have any sort of stake in
the book`s success (wish I did), I`m just bullish about anyone or
anything that helps me get my job done. Ben easily fits that category.
