This is how I handle this
<cfset thisDecisionID = getReviewers.decisionID>
<CFLOOP query="getDCodes">
<CFIF getDCodes.decisionID EQ thisDecisionID>
<CFSET select = "SELECTED">
</CFIF>
<option value="#decID#" #select#>
There are two major products that come out of Berkeley: LSD and [Unix]
BSD. We don't believe this to be a coincidence.
