your problem is not using [code] tags around code segments on the forum.


assuming this is properly contained within <table> tags, and a <tr> at the beginning it works perfectly... this is more of an html question than coldfusion, i would think.

There is nothing wrong really, but if you are working with ColdFusion it would be much simpler to do it this way

<tr>
	<td>
		<select name="month">
			<cfloop from="1" to="12" index="i">
				<cfoutput>
					<option value="#i#">#i#</option>
				</cfoutput>
			</cfloop>
		</select>
	</td>
	<td>
		<select name="day">
		 <cfloop from="1" to="31" index="i">
		 	<cfoutput>
				<option value="#i#">#i#</option>
			</cfoutput>
		 </cfloop>
		</select>
	</td>
	<td>
		<select name="year">
			<cfloop from="1960" to="1963" index="i">
				<cfoutput>
					<option value="#i#">#i#</option>
				</cfoutput>
			</cfloop>
		</select>
	</td>
</tr>

What I don't understand is how this thread has 3400 hits. That's weird, the next closest has less than a thousand.

Thats what they get for developing this site in PHP instead of ColdFusion... faulty number counting.
