Would this work for you?
<form action="faq_list2.cfm" method="post" name="dropdown">
<select name="category" onchange="this.form.submit();">
<option value="">Select</option>
<cfoutput query="getlistoftopics">
<option value="#categorynum#,#categoryname#">#categoryname#
</cfoutput>
</select>
</form>
Usually you'd just use:
<option value="#categorynum#">#categoryname#
and then look up the category name on the form's action page. But the
above should work if you want to avoid doing another query to get the
name.
