Why not pass the name of the state instead of a number, it will also depend
on what your doing on the action page as well.

Subject: Repopulating combo ( or select) boxes
Dear List,
I am working on a form where a user can modify their account information.
This information contains their state, country, etc. You know the standard
stuff. If the user was from South Carolina, I only save SC or some number
representing South Carolina.
Now here is my question. If I have a something like:
<select name="state">
<option value="1">South Carolina
<option value="2">Georgia
...
<option value="n">some name
</select>
and I am only saving 1 for South Carolina, 2 for Georgia, etc. Is there an
easy way to repopulate this data. So when I go to reload the record and I
have a 1 for state. How do I easily/painlessly translate the 1 to South
Carolina. The only solution I can think of takes about a million lines of
code and seems very clunky. I would greatly appreciate any advice. BTW, I
have looked at CFINPUT and have not yet seen how I could make it do this for
me.
Thanks in advance,
Brian Ivey
