CFSet and CFSelect question

[programmher]

Hello, all.

I was asked if one could embed a CFSet statement INSIDE a CFSelect statement.

My first inclination was to say "no"; but, after considering it further, I was wondering if this was, in fact, possible?

Here is an example of what they want to do:

<select name=&quot;<cfset value ='misc'> change_this_value&quot; onChange=&quot;this.form.test_value.value=this.value;&quot;>

Please explain why you would do something like that. There's no need to place CFSET tags within the <> of an HTML tag. The following is a better solution:

<cfset value ='misc'>
<select name=&quot;#value#&quot; onChange=&quot;this.form.test_value.value=this.value;&quot;>

Im also not sure what you mean by change_this_value.

Also, why would you want your form field name to be variant? How will you know how to reference it?

Please explain what you need.
