ColdFusion 9: CFSELECT + BIND + Selected Attribute Work Together Now?
In case you have been living under a rock like me, it seems the selected attribute works with bound cfselect lists.
Form
<cfparam name="form.foodID" default="0">
<cfform method="post" action="#CGI.SCRIPT_NAME#">
Favorite Food:
<cfselect name="foodID"
value="foodID"
display="FoodName"
selected="#form.foodID#"
bind="cfc:Food.getFood()"
bindOnLoad="true"
/>
<cfinput type="submit" name="submitMe" />
</cfform>
Food.cfc
<cfcomponent output="false">
<cffunction name="getFood" access="remote" output="false" returntype="query">
<cfset var q = QueryNew("") />
<cfset queryAddColumn(q, "FoodID", "integer", listToArray("0,1,2,3")) />
<cfset queryAddColumn(q, "FoodName", "varchar", listToArray("-Pick Something-,Burger,Pizza,Lasagna")) />
<cfreturn q />
</cffunction>
</cfcomponent>

Wow! Didn't try it, but I lost my hair trying on CF8. Thanks for the tip!
Thanks for posting this, its good to know its working in 9. Unfortunately we are stuck on 8 for a couple more months. Is there a simple interim solution for the bug in 8?
Not a bug. But not supported either. Though I agree it should be ;)
Unfortunately, I do not know of any one-liners. But here are two options:
