List drop down issue (A value is disapearing)! Help!

Hi All,

I'm wondering why i am getting such a weired problem.

In my CFM, i'm filling list drop down with code:

<SELECT NAME="selgroupid">
     <OPTION VALUE="N/A">N/A</OPTION>
     <OPTION VALUE=""></OPTION>
     <CFLOOP QUERY="Group">
      <cfif #ucase(group_name)# neq 'N/A'>
      <OPTION VALUE="#group_name#">#group_name#</OPTION>
      </cfif>
     </CFLOOP>
    </SELECT>

To my greatest surpirse, i'm not getting first "N/A" on my page.

i noticed that as soon as i hit my page, N/A appears for a frection of second, and then disappears.

In my View Source the Drop down is:

<SELECT NAME="selgroupid">
     <OPTION VALUE="N/A">N/A</OPTION>
     <OPTION VALUE=""></OPTION>
           <OPTION VALUE="AIIAC">AIIAC</OPTION>
            <OPTION VALUE="AIIRC">AIIRC</OPTION>
            <OPTION VALUE="AIISC">AIISC</OPTION>
            <OPTION VALUE="AIISN">AIISN</OPTION>
          <OPTION VALUE="AIISU">AIISU</OPTION>
           <OPTION VALUE="AIITX">AIITX</OPTION>
            <OPTION VALUE="AIIWU">AIIWU</OPTION>
           <OPTION VALUE="DASON">DASON</OPTION>
            <OPTION VALUE="EL CAMINO">EL CAMINO</OPTION>
       </SELECT>

I tried to use SELECTED in select as well, it is coming in view source, but N/A is dissapearing on main page.

On FORM submit, i'm using a javascript function, but just to validate whatever is selected and nothing else.

Please Helpppppp!

Thanks,

Toshu
