I imagine you are pulling your list from a database and using the query of a cfoutput, just add this code to it. <select> <cfoutput query="mybooknames"> <cfif name is form.name><cfset selected = "selected"><cfelse><cfset selected = ""></cfif> <option value="#name#" #selected#>#name#</option> </cfoutput> </select> there is a way to do it in one line with iif() but I can't remember that one right off.

I have a problem, my site, www.bibleclicks.com has one request from people that send me feedback.. they want me to set it so that when a user selects a book and searches, the book remains selected on the next page.. the problem comes in here: It would take about 75 cfif tags to do it and some of them would be long.. my host is generous with bandwidth but.. I'm smart, I don't want to push the limits.. is there an easy way to do this? Thanks, Tony Hicks ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Your ad could be here.
