Hi everyone,

                        In coldfsuion mx 7 does cfselect supports bind option which is supported by coldfusion 8.I have seen live docs for cfselect but in live docs it dint show any bind option for cfselect tag. If bind attribute is not present how we need implement related selects.

                       I have two cfselects in which the second should populate values by executing a query where the query takes the value that is selected in first cfselect.....how i need to approach this problem....for some reason bind option doesnt worked in coldfusion mx 7 which worked fine in coldfusion 8

    There is an old custom tag that does this pretty simply.  Go to http://www.adobe.com/cfusion/exchange/index.cfm?event=extensionDetail&extid=1000288.  Let me know if that solves your issue.

    CFMX7's cfselect doesn't support binding. Binding in forms, in general, started from Coldfusion 8.

    The way to do binding in MX7 is to roll your own. This means writing the Javascript or Actionscript for it, and invoking it by means of an event-attribute like onChange.
