An CFAJAX call to get the query list for select then loading it into a
recursive javascript loop is super easy. I usually will start with a
plain loaded select:
<select name="sl_something" id="sl_something"><option>-Select
Something-</option></select>
So I can attached an onchange() via jquery on page load. Not to mention
you can have the page loading while it populates the list (not that it
is really any slower doing it serverside).

@Alan, Personally I agree with you that cfform and cfselect are just
not worth it. Even on Adobe servers I've had to pull back on half of
my cfselects because they are just too restrictive. Ease of use is
nice but not when you need additional support like disabled options...
I found myself rewriting, switching to normal selects and looping
around the options to get the full functionality I needed. I write a
lot of permissions based apps so I have a lot of those floating
around. And the cfform validation almost never gets used since I need
to write server side validation anyway.
Thanks for the reply. I'll continue in jquery. It'll help me learn it
better anyway which is probably more valuable to me in the long term.

In short yes, JQuery is the best way to go.
Baking Javascript into the engine was the worse mistake Adobe ever
done;
because it can never keep up with the pace that is being done client
side. The second worse mistake was us even attempting to do
CFFORM/CFSELECT/etc. We should have taken a stance and said NO!
But we
were young, love in our hearts and almighty Adobe could do no
wrong ...
ooh the innocence of youth! The only thing stopping me ripping it
all out is someone somewhere will claim they "NEED" it. But one
weekend
... i am just going to do it!
