Hello,

I wish to convert (or have it converted) my employer's site to HTML (currently it's CFML) for various reasons. What does this entail? Can I copy the code into an editor and save as .html, or is it more complicated? Is there a tool I can use to do this? Thank you.

You can use wget or any number of site scrapers to grab the whole thing in one go as a batch process. If it has more than a small number of pages, that's the way to go.

The page will already be made from normal HTML code, no?

The .cfml is just a part of the filename. As long as the page is served with the text/html MIME type, the browser will know what to do with it.

Presumably the OP wants to translate it to a static HTML version or something. Is that right?

Or do you just want it to have a .html extension? Because Cold Fusion or not, what is being sent to the browser will be identical. Browsers know HTML/CSS/Javascript - Cold Fusion, PERL, PHP and so forth are merely means of generating HTML.
