Re: CFSELECT getting ELEMENT is undefined in FORM

The selected attribute should be a non-empty string. Setting the it to "" runs counter to what ColdFusion expects. The documentation on cfselect says this about the attribute:

"One or more option values to preselect in the selection list. To specify multiple values, use a comma-delimited list. This attribute applies only if selection list items are generated from a query. The cfform tag preserveData attribute can override this value.".

Found quite a few items on this topic when searching the web, but nothing applied.

I have a CFSELECT that searches a database for the options, and has its own blank option. On the cfselect i have a selected="". When I display the form, the selected isn't highlighted. If I don't highlight something on the field, when I click the submit button, that form field is not sent (doesn't appear in the CFDUMP. If I select the option value and press submit, it then gets passed.

						<cfselect name="Position_Club"
							required="No"
							message="Please assign Club Position"
							size="4"
							selected=""
							query="get_DropDownPositionClub"
							Display="Position"
							Value="Position_Code"
							queryPosition="below"
							Multiple="Yes">
							<option value="">None</option>
						</cfselect>

Around this code I placed another cfselect with all the option values, and they do go into the form when I press select. Before I update the code, it was using flash HTML and it worked fine. It looked like:

<cfformgroup type="horizontal" label="Club Position(s)">
	<cfselect name="Position_Club"
		required="No"
		message="Please assign Club Position"
		size="4"
		query="get_DropDownPositionClub"
		selected=""
		Display="Position"
		Value="Position_Code"
		queryPosition="below"
		width="300"
		Multiple="Yes">
		<option value = ""> None
	</cfselect>

Code any ideas?
