<cfset selectValue=evaluate(columnname & ":thing")> Nick Han >>> [EMAIL PROTECTED] 03/04/03 09:24AM >>> If I had something like this: <cfform name="billy" action="#self#?fuseaction=#xfa.foo#"> <cfoutput query="bob"> <select name="#columnname#:thing"> <option value="thing1">thing1</option> <option value="thing2">thing2</option> </select> </cfoutput> </cfform> in a form, how would I output the values of each #columnname#:thing???? I remember doing this once before, but can't locate my code.
