Raymond yours appeared the easiest... I need to understand loops better or something, that was just too easy... If someone would humor me or is real bored, could you explain why/mechanics of how this works to produce the number list 1-31: <select name="firstday"> <cfloop index="firstday" FROM="1" TO="31"> <cfoutput> <option value="#firstday#">#firstday#</option> </cfoutput> </cfloop> </option> </select> -----Original Message----- From: Raymond Camden [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Tuesday, February 18, 2003 3:18 PM To: CF-Talk Subject: RE: days in a month You are calling the daysInMonth function on a number, not a real date, and you don't need it anyway. Just change the option line to <option value="#firstday#">#firstday#</option> ======================================================================= Raymond Camden, ColdFusion Jedi Master for Mindseye, Inc Member of Team Macromedia Email : [EMAIL PROTECTED] Blog : www.camdenfamily.com/morpheus/blog Yahoo IM : morpheus "My ally is the Force, and a powerful ally it is." - Yoda > -----Original Message----- > From: Tim Laureska [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] > Sent: Tuesday, February 18, 2003 2:25 PM > To: CF-Talk > Subject: days in a month > > > Hello.
