Setting a default value in Cfselect

[Newsgroup_User]

I have the following code. I want the selected value to correspond to the value but apparently that only works with a
cfselect that gets its values from a query. Is there a way to set the default price in a plain select?

<cfselect name="price" size="1" value="#myclassifiedquery.price#">
<option>10</option>
<option>25</option>
<option>50</option>
<option>100</option>
<option>250</option>
<option>500</option>
<option>1000</option>
<option>2500</option>
<option>5000</option>
<option>10000</option>
<option>25000</option>
<option>50000</option>
</cfselect>

<option
<cfif myclassifiedquery.price is 500> selected="selected"
</cfif>
value = "500"
> <!--- closing option tag --->
500
</option>

Thanks Dan. I decided creating a table with the values was a little more maintable.

But I have a different problem. The selected value is not displaying. When I look at the source code it says its
selected, but the first value on the list is still displayed. Is that standard procedure?

No it's not standard. However, this is:
<cfselect query="somequery" value="id" display="another_field" selected="something_else">

If the value something_else does not match one of the id fields somequery, the 'selected="something_else"' will be ignored and the first item will be displayed. It has to be an exact match too, ie 1 does not equal 1.0 and that sort of thing.

Thanks for the help. That was it, I failed to put ## around the variable.
