My mistake. That's not correct XHTML, which is what you should be coding for if you don't want to have to redo all of your HTML in the future. Here's a good reference for converting your HTML documents to XTHML:

So, this is the correct syntax for a selected option: <option value="whatever" selected>display text goes here</option> (the closing tag is required for XHTML compliance, but not otherwise) Dave Watts, CTO, Fig Leaf Software http://www.figleaf.com/ voice: (202) 797-5496 fax: (202) 797-5444 ______________________________________________________________________ Signup for the Fusion Authority news alert and keep up with the latest news in ColdFusion and related topics. http://www.fusionauthority.com/signup.cfm FAQ: http://www.thenetprofits.co.uk/coldfusion/faq Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/cf-talk@houseoffusion.com/ Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/index.cfm?sidebar=lists
