I imagine you are pulling your list from a database and using the query of a
cfoutput, just add this code to it.
<select>
<cfoutput query="mybooknames">
<cfif name is form.name><cfset selected = "selected"><cfelse><cfset selected
= ""></cfif>
    <option value="#name#" #selected#>#name#</option>
</cfoutput>
</select>
there is a way to do it in one line with iif() but I can't remember that one
right off.

Hey Guys...

I have a problem, my site, www.bibleclicks.com has one request from people
that send me feedback.. they want me to set it so that when a user selects a
book and searches, the book remains selected on the next page.. the problem
comes in here:

It would take about 75 cfif tags to do it and some of them would be long..
my host is generous with bandwidth but.. I'm smart, I don't want to push the
limits.. is there an easy way to do this?

Thanks,
Tony Hicks
