Have you looked at your 'view source' code to see if 'selected' is every being generated?
Are there any records in your table that have an empty cty_iso2 column?

If a country value is there, I want it to be selected, if nothing is there, I want United States as default. The column cty_iso2 has two letter code for the country like 'US' and cty_name contains the whole name like United States of America. I am not able to pin point what's wrong with this code. Also, I convert all the form fields values into variables scope before the start of the page. Please help. Thanks for help in advance. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Adobe® ColdFusion® 8 software 8 is the most important and dramatic release to date Get the Free Trial http://ad.doubleclick.net/clk;203748912;27390454;j Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/message.cfm/messageid:310749 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.4
