Creating form element from within a component

Hi all,

I am trying to create a form element within a component function which is then called from a .cfm page which has the cfform tags. I keep getting a context validation error for the form element tag. Here is some sample code:

<cfcomponent name="yourComponent">
<cffunction name="createTag" returntype="string" access="public">

<cfsavecontent variable="returnContent">
<cfselect name="thisSelect">
<option value="0">Value 1</option>
</cfselect>
</cfsaveconten>

<cfreturn returnContent>
</cffunction>
</cfcomponent>


And in the .cfm page:

<cfform>
<cfinvoke component="yourComponent" method="createTag" returnVariable="returnContent"/>
<cfoutput>#returnContent#</cfoutput>
</cfform>

The error occurs in the function and it says the cfselect must be within a cfform. I tried the function without the save content and just set the output="yes" but the same error occurs.

Any help appreciated in how to get around this. Just putting the code in the .cfm is not an option for this.

Any help appreciated.
