Well, I don't know the Ben Code of which you speak, but here's what I would do:
* Use an application-scope variable for the dropdown * In application.cfm, check for existence of this variable; if it exists, do nothing * otherwise, run a cfsavecontent block and save that as the application scope variable. * Call the variable wherever you need it. Of course, there's more than one way to skin a (virtual) cat.
