Is it possible to create a drop down list (<select>) in coldfusion where the options are populated from a database dynamically using ajax when the down arrow of the select is clicked ? Any suggestions appreciated
 
The bind attrib is the simplest form. If it does not meet your needs google "coldfusion ajax" for tons of examples.
Code:
<html>
<head>
</head>
<body>
<cfform name="mycfform">
    <!--- 
        The States selector. 
        The bindonload attribute is required to fill the selector. 
    --->
    <cfselect name="state" bind="cfc:bindFcns.getstates()" bindonload="true">
        <option name="0">--state--</option>
    </cfselect>
    <cfselect name="city" bind="cfc:bindFcns.getcities({state})">
        <option name="0">--city--</option>
    </cfselect>
</cfform>
</body>
</html>
