Does anyone know of a way to convert seconds to hh:mm:ss format? I have a total seconds value of 120, for example, and I want a CF page to display it as 00:02:00. Thanks,,,

This solution will work up to 24 Hours. If you need to display times long than that, you will have to do some math.
You MUST use the capital H in the TimeFormat() function, of it will try to convert it to a 12-hour clock and you will get weird results.

<cfset second = 60 />
<cfset myTime = CreateTimeSpan(0, 0, 0, second)>
<cfoutput>
#Timeformat(myTime, 'H:mm:ss')#
</cfoutput>

The mod operator gives you the remainder when you divide one number into another. Numberformat enables you to format any number (hint, you'll need three of them).

Or, you can check cflib.org to see if a udf for this already exists.
