I'm sure there is a simple answer to this basic question. Sorry for
being such a noob: I'm working on my first application! I hope to
become a useful member of the CF community one day. But first you will
have to put up with my stupid questions for a while.
Stupid question the second: I have a <select> element in a form. The
options are populated from a database. It looks a bit like this:
<CFQUERY name="get_projects" datasource="datasource">
SELECT projectname FROM projects
</CFQUERY>
...
<SELECT name="project">
<CFOUTPUT query="get_projects">
<OPTION>#projectname#</OPTION>
</CFOUTPUT>
</SELECT>
It works beautifully so far, giving me a list of all the projects in my
database. But I'd like it to default to a certain value from another
query. So I added some more code:
<CFQUERY name="get_details" datasource="datasource">
SELECT projectname FROM projects
WHERE ID=[a certain value]
</CFQUERY>
<CFOUTPUT query="get_details">
<SELECT name="project" value="#projectname#">
</CFOUTPUT>
<CFOUTPUT query="get_projects">
<OPTION>#projectname#</OPTION>
</CFOUTPUT>
</SELECT>
But it just doesn't work: it won't default to the value from the new
query. Am I being a total moron?
TIA,
CK.
