All form data will be sent to any specified in the action="" page.

formPage.cfm

<form action="actionPage.cfm" method="post">

<SELECT NAME="flavor">

<OPTION value = "" SELECTED>Select flavor</OPTION >

<OPTION VALUE="vanilla" >Vanilla</OPTION >

<OPTION VALUE="strawberry">Strawberry</OPTION >

<OPTION VALUE="rum_raisin">Rum and Raisin</OPTION >

<OPTION VALUE="peach_orange">Peach and Orange</OPTION >

</SELECT>

<input ty

pe="Submit" value="send" name="sbmt">

I'm sorry my question is not complete....I mean I want to post the data from the drop down into the next page without using submit button

What do want use, if not the submit button.

P.S.,

I'm not liking a lot about this new Forum yet.

that I don't know...that's why I'm asking if it's possible and how. But I'm thinking is it possible to store the data on a session variable thru onclick? So that when a user pick a choice on the drop down then it will store in the session.

You can use for it AJAX - jQuery or ExtJS js-libraries.

[dchard]

can you give me a walkthrough on that, good reference?

thanks

I think you need read something like this: http://www.365labs.net/cf_jquery/jquery_coldfusion_quickstart.htm
