Ian,

You can use 

<CFSAVECONTENT variable="myDropDown">
  <SELECT name="whatever">
    <cfoutput query="myQuery">
      <option value="#my_id#">#myValue#
    </cfoutput>
  </SELECT>
</cfsavecontent>

<cfoutput>#myDropDown#</cfoutput>

Hi all,

I've done this before but am having a post-halloween party moment:

1. I have a chunk of code that generates a drop-down menu. The 
menu's used
again and again on a page.

2. I want to generate that code once, insert it into a variable, 
and then
reuse it. That'll shave a LOT of time off the page execution 
time.

I dimly remember an article by Ben Forta (I think) about this 
- can someone
refresh my sugar-addled brain?

Thanks,

Ian
