The IIf way would be:
<option value="#name#" #IIf(Form.Name EQ Name, DE("selected"),
DE(""))#>#name#</option>
Or something along those lines, it is slower though due to the DE()
functions. Why not just put the CFIF within the option tag?
<option value="#name#" <cfif Form.Name EQ
Name>selected</cfif>>#name#</option>
This all assumes that Form.Name is always defined, I am guessing you have a
cfparam towards the top of the page for that, like so:
<cfparam name="Form.Name" default="">
