Enhancing the Trip Maintenance application

In this lesson you will enhance the Trip Maintenance application that you created in Lesson 2: Writing Your First ColdFusion Application. You will modify the application to include a main application page that lets Compass Travel employees do these tasks:

View additional details about a trip.
Scan records in the Trips database table.
Modify or search for records in the Trips database table.

The following list identifies the application components that you will create in this lesson:

Trip Detail Page The Trip Detail page displays additional information about a trip that was initially selected from the Trip Search Results page.
Enhanced Trip Search Results page The original purpose of the Trip Search Results page in Lesson 2: Writing Your First ColdFusion Application was to display the results of a trip search. In this lesson, you will enhance this page to provide a useful drill-down mechanism for accessing additional information about trips that meet the search criteria.
Main Application page In the beginning of this lesson, you will develop the Trip Detail page (see the following figure). Later in this lesson, you will convert the Trip Detail page into the main Trip Maintenance application page. The main application page will include additional buttons for navigating to other ColdFusion pages and browsing the trip database records.

The primary users of these components will be the Compass Travel coordinators and agents, not the general public.
