CFSelect marks item select but doesnt scroll to selected

[Guest]

I have a list of dates from the a database and they list like:

August 2009

September 2009

all the way to like

Decemeber 2011.

As a new project may be added for Jan 2012 it would go to the bottom of the list.

What I want to do is have the current month selected and at the top of my combo box.  The month is being selected but I have to scroll to it.  Here is my code.

<cfset myYear=DateFormat(Now(), "yyyy")>

<cfset myMonthName=DateFormat(Now(), "mmmm")>
<cfset myMonth=DateFormat(Now(), "m")>

<cfselect name="month" class="multiSelect" multiple="yes" size="5" >
        <cfoutput query="Dates"  >
     <option value="#assignMonth#--#assignYear#" <cfif #assignMonth# EQ #myMonth# and #assignYear# EQ #myYear#>selected</cfif>>#monthName# #assignYear#</option>
                                    </cfoutput>
        </cfselect>

Any ideas?  Thanks in advance.

make your dates query resemble this:

select current_year_month ym, 1 sortkey

from etc

union

select other_year_months ym, 2 sortkey

from etc

order by sortkey, ym

Then you won't even need a selected attribute in your cfselect.
