So, how does the cfhttpparam above get the #form.fname# value? Does I use a regular HTML form and submit the values to another page that receives and posts them via cfhttp? (If that's true, then I'll now understand how the value of a select formfield gets into a cfhttpparam...) Is my thinking correct? Close? Even in the ballpark? Thanks for the feedback! (Know of any "start-to-finish" tutorials anywhere that shows all the connections? Everything I've seen just starts with cfhttp and cfhttpparams, leaving me to wonder how those hard-coded values got there in the first place...)
