RE: Question concerning select box code

2000-04-06 Thread Brian Peddle

Something I do.

I do server side validation and always submit forms to themselves.  At the
top I set something like this:

cfparam name="variables.home_country" default="0"

!--- In here I check if form has been submitted if it has I set:

cfset variables.home_country = #formhome_country#

!--- error checking ---
Send to next page if okay if not show page again with values populated.

Then down below I have this:

font face="Verdana,Arial,Helvetica" size="1"Country:/font

select name="home_country" size="1"option value="" selectedSelect a
Country:cfoutput query="application.country_list"option
value="#country_id#" cfif #variables.home_country# is
application.country_list.country_idselected/cfif#country_desc#/option
/cfoutput/select


For the option to enter in other I use a blank box below the select box and
if they choose other from select box they can
enter other information.  I do checks on that to make sure they enter
something if they choose other.

Hope this helps some.
