I'm not sure what you mean when you say you need to use it in an edit
mode however.
But from what I understand, what you've described is how the tag is
supposed to work. You first run a query, choosing the columns you want
displayed. Then you assign names to the selects (Name1, Name2), the
values taken from the CFQuery columns, and the display names to use as
well (ie., for the first select values of userID and display using user
name; and locations and zipcodes for the names and values for the
second select box).
What the tag then does is populate some _javascript_ arrays, then uses the
first array to populate the first dropdown. Then depending on what is
chosen in the first dropdown, the second one becomes populated based on
the results of what you choose in the first select box.
Selene Bainum of webtricks.com has a good example and discussion of how
it works along with some downloadable code:

For more detailed explanation, just google on related selects.

I have been using the custom tag two selects related as found below.

ed.html
Has anyone had experience with this tag before. This tag works great but
when I need to use it in an edit mode I just can not get it to pre
populate both boxes because the second drop down is built on the fly. If
anyone can provide some insight It would be greatly appreciated.
