What browser are you using? Some browsers like to "help" their users by remembering the most recent "state" (what was selected in a select box, or typed in a text field) and defaulting to that when you hit a form again.
This will even override the "Selected" attribute of a select box. I know FireFox can be guilty of this. It's real simple, view the source of your rendered page, as long as the item in the select box that should be set to selected has the selected attribute, and no other item in the list has it, you succeeded. However, the browser can screw you from a presentation standpoint if it decides something else should be selected. Clearing the cache should help. =] -- Alan Rother Adobe Certified Advanced ColdFusion MX 7 Developer Manager, Phoenix Cold Fusion User Group, AZCFUG.org ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| 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:310759 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=11502.10531.4
