This solution is if your option list is static. If you are outputting a query as
your options then you need to provide a query to populate them.
<CFQUERY NAME="fooquery" DATASOURCE="foo_dsn">
Select foo1,foo2 from foo_table
</CFQUERY>
<cfform action="select.cfm" method="post">
<cfselect query="fooquery" value="foo1" name="letter" selected="B">
<option value="foo1">#foo2#
</cfselect>
<input type=submit>
</cfform>

Subject: RE: CFSELECT, selected= doesnt work?! Am I going crazy?
That works, but it's UGLY. I have 40 options. Now I have to put "[option
value="a" <cfif #val# eq "a">Selected</cfif>>Apple" on all 40 lines instead of
putting it in the one place where it's SUPPOSED to work.
