Set one tag of your select statement to something like Choose One and then
check t see if that value shows up.

Subject: Using Select Tags in optional Form Submissions
Hello!
I have a form, with four text boxes and a select box that is pulling data
from a Department Table to get available departments and their Department
IDs.
Now, the user can eitehr enter an Employee Name, ID, or select a department.
However, on the next page I have several <CFIF IsDefined....> tags to check
which field has a value in it, so that I know what to build the query on.
It's one or the other, they can't enter a Name, and an ID...AND a department
(wouldn't make sense to do that anyways heh heh).
But...for some reason the Department is always carried forward,even if the
user makes no selection.
I need to do this same thing on a couple other forms. Is it impossible to
use a Select box in this way?
Is a value ALWAYS sent when the user clicks submit, even if the user never
made a selection from the box?
I require a way around this, or some other way to simulate a combo box :-\
help help.
*waves arms frantically*
