Drop Down Box in Forms

I am not sure how to do a drop down box in Cold Fusion in regarding to forms? Would I use something with cfindex or another tag/function? And how would I enter those fields in?
Thanks!

Use the cfselect tag (take a look in your manual on how to use).

You can use regular HTML form style for <SELECT>
<select name="State">
<option value="choose">[CHOOSE ONE]</option>
<option value="AB">Alabama </option>
</select>

And when you use <CFINSERT> on your actionpage it alls comes together. No fuss No muss!!!!!!

I am not going to be inserting what I am selecting though. I am going to be comparing it in a serach. Do you have any suggestions?

Is there any way to get the spacing on the cfselect statement, so I can actually see the choices that I type in. Right now the box is really really small.

Thanks!

Use &nbsp; or <br /> depending on if you want more space on the sides or inbetween.

<select name="booty" >
<option value="big">&nbsp;&nbsp;big&nbsp;&nbsp;</option>
<option value="bigger">bigger<br /></option>
<option value=" biggest">&nbsp;&nbsp; biggest &nbsp;</option>

no cfselect needed......keep it easy
