Dynamic Select Box problem

Hi there everyone

I would appreciate some help with the problem I am experiencing.

I am populating a select box in a CFForm

the code is as below

<tr>
<td width="60">Member Role</td>
<td width="440">
<cfselect name="MemberRole" size="25">
<cfloop query="qGetMemberRole">
<cfoutput><option value="#MemberRoleID#">#MemberRole#</option></cfoutput> </cfloop>
</cfselect>
</td>
</tr>

the code outputs the correct values, but when i run the page in the browser - all I get is a big text box, not a select box?

any ideas?

thanks in advance.

There's easier way to do <cfselect> also, instead of using cfloop on <option> just add query="" display="" and id="" to your <cfselect>

PHP Code:


		
			
<cfselect  name="selectmenu" query="queryname" display="displaydatafield" value="valuedatafield" ></cfselect>
