<h3>ArrayMin Example</h3>

    array and assigns the form fields to the first two elements. -----> 
<cfif IsDefined("FORM.submit")> 
    <cfset myNumberArray = ArrayNew(1)> 
    <cfset myNumberArray[1] = FORM.number1> 
    <cfset myNumberArray[2] = FORM.number2> 
    <cfif Form.Submit is "Minimum Value">     
        <!--- Use ArrayMin to find the smallest number in the array. ---> 
        <p>The smallest number that you entered is 
        <cfoutput>#ArrayMin(myNumberArray)#.</cfoutput> 
    </cfif>     
</cfif>     
<!---- The following form provides two numeric fields that are compared when the form is 
    submitted. ----->
