I have a page where the day and date is displayed like this.
< Previous Day - Wednesday January 23, 2013 > Next Day
How do I make it so when the userclicks on < Previous Day link that they go to Tuesday January 22, 2013 and when they lick on > Next Day they go to Thursday January 24, 2013 etc?
It's tough to provide good answers when we don't know all the details. Are you passing these pages to a database to pull info for that day? Do you just need a date selector?
I threw this together in a few minutes (and I'm sure it looks it!)
...
<cfset somedate = [date of whatever your current page is]>
<cfset yesterday = dateadd("d",-1,somedate)>
<cfset tomorrow = dateadd("d",1,somedate)>
<cfoutput><a href="page.cfm?date=#dateformat(yesterday,"yyyymmdd")#">< Previous Day</a> - #dateformat(somedate,"

Make them links with url variables.

Yes. What would the links be?

But "somedate" would have to come from somewhere. Your database? Hard to know without some more info.
