CFSET the Display Value in a Select Box

khurram,
when you submit the form it only sends the select box selected option value, not selected option text.
If you want to get the selected option text value, you need to code like this.
<select name="SelectShipping">
<option value="the value|the text">the text
and in the next form
<CFSET ShippingOption = #listgetat(SelectShipping, 1, "|"
#>
I used "|" as a delemeter, instead you can use any character
