CFSelect - Bind - Selected

[Guest]

Lets say that I have the following:

<cfselect name="city" value="unid" display="city" bind="cfc:Examples.CFC.Geographic.getAllCities()" bindonload="true" onChange="submit()"  />

This will return all the countries in our system. When the form submits onChange, the value changes to the city at the top of the list.

How do I get the cfselect to default to the value selected when it was previously changed ?

use the selected attribute

I attempt to pass a variable as the selected value, it always defaults to the top value returned from the cfc.

[Dan_Bracuk]

Is the variable you are passing one of the available values?

[Guest]

Yes

I can try again when I get home. So the Selected should work ?

You are not crazy...it does NOT work.  I have seen some solutions that required putting the selected item at the top of the list and another that rewrote the Ajax.
