I have three select boxes, day, month, year. I want the ´selected´ values to be today´s date. The days select box is 1-31, the month January-December, the year 2006-2020 How can I do this please? <cfoutput>#DateFormat(Now())#, #TimeFormat(Now())#</cfoutput> <select name="day"> <option>01</option> etc. <option>31</option> </select> <SELECT name="month"> <OPTION>January</OPTION> etc. <OPTION>December</OPTION> </SELECT> <select name="year"> <option selected>2006</option> etc. <option>2020</option></select>

<select name="day"> <cfloop from="1" to="31" index="dd"> <option value="#dd#"<cfif day(now()) EQ dd> selected="selected"</cfif>>#dd#</option> </cfloop> </select> that'll do your day. based on that, you give month and year a shot -CJ- @ #coldfusion/DALNet http://charlie.griefer.com This message was edited by CJ on 3-31-06 @ 9:18 PM

Thanks CJ I tried it out for day month and year with the following (complete) code but I get an error on the month select (The value of the attribute TO is invalid. The value cannot be converted to a numeric because it is not a simple value). Also I get an error on them all saying that (Variable I is undefined). Do I have to put the options in is that the problem? Thanks a lot <tr><td class="label"> <select name="day" class="ftforminputsmall"> <cfloop from="1" to="31" index="dd"> <option value="#dd#"<cfif day(now()) EQ i> selected="selected"</cfif>#dd#</option> </cfloop> </select> </td> <td> <select name="month"> <cfloop from="January" to="December" index="dd"> <option value="#dd#"<cfif month(now()) EQ i> selected="selected"</cfif>#dd#</option></cfloop> </select></td> <td><select name="year"> <cfloop from="2006" to="2020" index="dd"> <option value="#dd#"<cfif year(now()) EQ i> selected="selected"</cfif>#dd#</option></cfloop> </select></td></tr>

month(now()) returns the NUMERIC VALUE of the current month, and in your loop you have the TEXT VALUE. Your month loop should be... <cfloop from="1" to="12" index="dd"> </cfloop> Also, your loop is using 'dd' as your index, and not 'i', so you need to change the IF statements to reflect that. http://www.rachelqueensg.com This message was edited by mquack on 3-31-06 @ 6:54 PM

Thanks a lot for the answers, changed the dd to i I am beginning to get my head around loops I will have a good session learning them. The months in numbers is really annoying. I have search in the cfmx function reference docs and I can only seem to find one other function for months: Monthasstring which both seem to use numeric values. How do I make the 1 to 12 values in the month select change? Thanks a lot for any help <select name="month"> <cfloop from="1" to="12" index="i"> <option value="#i#"<cfif month(now()) EQ i> selected="selected"</cfif>>#i#</option> </cfloop> </select>

<cfset monthList = "January,February,March,April,May,June,July,August,September,October,November,December" /> <cfloop list="#monthList#" index="m"> <option value="#m#"<cfif monthAsString(month(now())) IS m> selected="selected"</cfif>>#m#</option> </cfloop> http://www.rachelqueensg.com

quote: you just answered the question you asked. "...montasstring which ...seem to use numeric values." don't you have numeric values (1-12)? <cfloop from="1" to="12" index="i"> #monthAsString(i)#<br /> </cfloop> ^ what's that give you? can you use that function? -CJ- @ #coldfusion/DALNet http://charlie.griefer.com

Thanks cj and mquack:I used your way mquack as the <cfloop from="1" to="12" index="i"> #monthAsString(i)#<br /> </cfloop> still gave me a list of 1-12 numbers This message was edited by riogrande on 4-3-06 @ 5:43 PM

rio- Just to clarify, my example does NOT use a 1-12 loop. I created a list with the months in it and then looped thru that list. http://www.rachelqueensg.com
