Question

Is it possible to populate a dropdown list with query results? For example with this output: Peps Company - AL ie (Company and State) separated with a hyphen.

Edit: Sorry for leaving out code. There is only one datasource.

<cfquery name="CompanyInfo" datasource=>
SELECT  company, state
FROM    clients
WHERE   serv_billing = 1 
AND     status = 'Active' 
ORDER BY Company
</cfquery>


<FORM METHOD="POST" ACTION="nextpage.cfm">
    <SELECT name="company">
      <CFOUTPUT QUERY="CompanyInfo">
        <OPTION value="#CompanyInfo.company#">#CompanyInfo.company# - #CompanyInfo.state#</OPTION>
      </CFOUTPUT>
    </SELECT>
    <INPUT TYPE="submit" VALUE="Submit Company">
</FORM>

Would this code give me the desired format for the dropdown list items ie Peps - AL?

?

The answer is yes. This code will do precisely that.

Does it not work? Do you have a problem with it, or..? I find it strange that you didn’t simply try it out because you already seem to have the code to do what you want to do.
