I should have known that. I've been trying since I got your original response to figure out a way to trick it and to put in in place of spaces, but I haven't been able to get it working.

I'm doing this by how I'm returning the values from my query. I'm querying an Oracle database, and my query is: > > <cfQuery > name="defaultList" > dataSource=#dataSource#> > SELECT rpad(username, 20, chr(32))|| > rpad(project_folder, 20, chr(32))|| > rpad(project_file, 20, chr(32))|| > rpad(to_char(blk_h, 'DD-MON-YYYY'), 20, chr(32)) listItemDisplay > ,username||'/'||project_folder||'/'||project_file listItemValue > FROM dids_project_file_info > WHERE project_submitted = 'SUBMITTED' > ORDER BY username, project_folder, project_file, blk_h </cfQuery> > > So I'm basically trying to concatenate four values together, with spaces concatenated to the end of each value out to 20 characters for each value, and return it as one value (listItemDisplay). How when I execute this query against the database with any standard query tool, it displays the results correctly like this: > > COUTURGD Stevens MMW--HRL > 24-JUL-2002 > COUTURGD Stevens WaveBand-MMW > 18-JUL-2002 > OHARAWT BLODGETT acoustic > 08-APR-2002 > > My problem is that when I try to dynamically create the select list with the following code: > > <select id="fileList" name="fileList" size="10" class="form_field" > style="width: 450px"> > <cfLoop query="defaultList"> > <cfOutput><option value="#listItemValue#">#listItemDisplay#</option></cfOutput> > </cfLoop> > </select> > > The displayed values come out with the padded spaces stripped of, and display like this: > > COUTURGD Stevens MMW--HRL 24-JUL-2002 > COUTURGD Stevens WaveBand-MMW 18-JUL-2002 > OHARAWT BLODGETT acoustic 08-APR-2002 > > Does anyone have any ideas why these spaces are being stripped, and how I might be able to keep them so that the values are displayed in the list correctly (as columns)? Any ideas would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance. > > ::YEX:: > > /* > || Robert D.
