Sytax is: <cfsavecontent variable="MySelectbox"> <select name="blah"> <option value="1"> blah 1</option> <option value="2"> blah 2</option> <option value="2"> blah 1</option> </select> </cfsavecontent> Watch out for <cfsetting enablecfoutputonly="yes"> . If you have set this, the cfcontent will only trap whatever is between output tags. It basically traps the output buffer from the point of the call. To use the variable, simply output it to the page: <form method="post" action="thispage.cfm"> <Cfoutput>#mySelectbox#</cfoutput> </form> It's always a string. One way I've used this in the past is in dynamically generating an HTML email that includes some stock quotes or charts etc. Build it once, then use it ina query driven email over and over again. It works well. -mk -----Original Message----- From: Ian Lurie [mailto:ian@;portentinteractive.com] Sent: Friday, November 01, 2002 10:29 AM To: CF-Talk Subject: Performance Tweaking - Friday Morning Brain Fart Hi all, I've done this before but am having a post-halloween party moment: 1. I have a chunk of code that generates a drop-down menu. The menu's used again and again on a page. 2. I want to generate that code once, insert it into a variable, and then reuse it. That'll shave a LOT of time off the page execution time. I dimly remember an article by Ben Forta (I think) about this - can someone refresh my sugar-addled brain?
