simple if else question

I am new to coldfusion. I am having problems with the syntax. This should be easy.


With this code:

<td><select name="RegionTown">
<option value="0">Search by town or region</option>

<option value="1">Search by region</option>

<option value="2">Search by town</option>

</select></td>

i want to do this if else statement:

<cfif name="RegionTown" option value="1">

... Do something here

<cifelse>

... Do something different here

</cif>


Hope you can help.

Cheers

Peter

<cfif #form.RegionTown# EQ 1>

...............

<cfelse>

...............

</cfif>

You don't need the pound signs:

<cfif form.regionTown eq 1>
...


However, I suspect that what this person is trying to do must be done with Javascript. It looks like they are trying to make CF respond to a change in a form field within the same page, which CF can't do (nor any other server-side application server). If you post this form to the server, the next page can respond based on the selection that was submitted. But without a page refresh, you have no choice but to write Javascript event handlers to do this.

Thanks for your help. a good forum
