Inserting ColdFusion select boxes
You can visually insert a ColdFusion select box into your form and set its properties. A select
box lets a visitor select one or more items from a list. Select boxes are useful when you have a
limited amount of space, but need to display many items. They’re also useful when you want
to control the values returned to the server. Unlike text fields, where users can type anything
they want, including invalid data, with select boxes, you can set the exact values returned by a
menu.
