Why is this cfinput submitting multiple values?

Seems like this should be pretty straight forward, but I'm stumped.

Let's say I have a variable called "TheNumber", the value of that number is 123.56. I want to display that number as a rounded number, or 124. If I use the input code below, it will display as 124, but when I submit the form it passes (123.56, 124) and thus an error. 

<cfinput type="text"  name="MyNumber" size="3" value="#NumberFormat(TheNumber, 999)#">

I only want the 124 value to insert into the database. I've tried rounding the number, both in and out side the input tag, but I still get the same result. What am I missing?

You have a second input with the same name in that form with the original value. Remove it.

Also, as Duncan says: there's almost no reason to use <cfinput> in this situation.

Would you consider posting your entire form to Code Review for us to look at and suggest how to stop using <cfform> / <cfinput>?
