What I like doing with commonly used selects is making them custom tags.
The code would look something like this:
<cfparam name="ATTRIBUTES.selected" default="">
<cfoutput>
<select name="parked">
<option value="">
<cfloop index=i from="1" to="52">
<option value="#i# week/year" <cfif ATTRIBUTES.selected IS "#i#
week/year"> selected</cfif>>#i# week/year</option>
</cfloop>
</select>
You call the tag like this:
<cf__selectTag selected="#query.parked#">
You don't have to do this as a custom tag, but for commonly used selects,
it does neaten up the code considerably.
HTH!
