Using coldfusion 8 and MySQL.  I need to make a search form that has a drop select that displays the department and category together in the drop select.

Is it possible? what would the form and search query look like. any help would be appreciated. thanks in advance.

example: each is a line item for the drop select. then when one is selected it returns the results if records are found.

mens/shoes

mens/clothing

mens/accessories

womens/shoes

womens/clothing

    With MySQL use the CONCAT function. Eg.

    (CONCAT(firstName, ' ', lastName)) AS fullName

    Gee, what a coincidence, my current project has one of those.  My approach is to include a concatonated field in the query and use it for the desired attribute of cfselect.

    The details of the contcatonated field depend on the db.  I don't use mySql but if I wanted to know badly enough, I would google "mySql concatonate"
