do you mean:
<select name="whatever">
<option value="-1(or whatever)" SELECTED>Pick one</option>
<cfoutput query="yourQueryName">
<option value="yourID">Your Description</option>
</cfoutput>
</select>
There are a few different ways to do the same thing, like using <cfloop>
instead of <cfoutput>. I've never bothered with the <cfselect>, though
I know of nothing wrong with it.
Hopefully this helps.

Subject: CFSELECT
I'm using CFSELECT to dynamically populate a drop down. The issue I have
is
that I want to create a blank one so that users don't just leave it and
select the one at the top of teh lsit all the time by default. You can
create a blank entry in the drop down by adding <option> between the
CFSELECT tags as below. The trouble with this is that its always at the
bottom of the dropdown. Is there a way to get it at the top of the
dropdown
<cfselect name="LocationID" message="Please select a location where this
position is being offered" query="GetLocations" value="LocationID"
display="Location" required="yes">
<option value = "" selected></option>
</cfselect>
TIA!!!
