It is also possible to write: <option value="#name#" #IIf(Form.Name EQ Name, "'selected'", "''")#>#name#</option>
The single quotes is equivalent to DE(). I'm not sure if this is any faster. Overall though, IIF always seems to be incredibly slow. -----Original Message----- From: Aaron Rouse [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: September 30, 2001 11:26 AM To: CF-Talk Subject: Re: <SELECT> 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=""> Snipe - <CF_BotMaster Network="EFNet" Channel="ColdFusion"> ----- Original Message ----- From: "Bryan LaPlante" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "CF-Talk" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Sunday, September 30, 2001 11:46 AM Subject: Re: <SELECT> > 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. > > Bryan > > ----- Original Message ----- > From: "Tony Hicks" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > To: "CF-Talk" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > Sent: Sunday, September 30, 2001 5:00 AM > Subject: <SELECT> > > > 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..
