Using the session-scoped structure gives you the ability to transfer the
CFDIRECTORY results to the other template. What you ask about now is how to
use the selection made to index into this structure.
I would have to see the code you use to create the menus. As I recall,
those menus you pop up are done in JaveScript. I already told you I'm not a
JS expert. Someone else on the list may be able to help out but post your
code snippet (JS) on the list and ask the question.
What I do know about JS is that you need your JS function that manages the
menu item selection to return the value of the item selected. I would use
an integer value and then directly use it to index into the structure key
list.
