Is there a default value set for the Drop Down or are you using a CF =
PARAM
tag?
I'm new at this, but I thought I would ask. I have had similar =
problems in
the past.

Subject: Using Select Tags in optional Form Submissions
Hello!
I have a form, with four text boxes and a select box that is pulling =
data
from a Department Table to get available departments and their =
Department
IDs.
Now, the user can eitehr enter an Employee Name, ID, or select a =
department.
However, on the next page I have several <CFIF IsDefined....> tags to =
check
which field has a value in it, so that I know what to build the query =
on.
It's one or the other, they can't enter a Name, and an ID...AND a =
department
(wouldn't make sense to do that anyways heh heh).
But...for some reason the Department is always carried forward,even if =
the
user makes no selection.
I need to do this same thing on a couple other forms. Is it impossible =
to
use a Select box in this way?
Is a value ALWAYS sent when the user clicks submit, even if the user =
never
made a selection from the box?
I require a way around this, or some other way to simulate a combo box =
:-\
help help.
