I feel foolish, but I can't seem to figure it out.
I'm a relative newbee at CF, and have mostly been fixing problems in existing code. Now I'm building a new page and I'm stuck.

I've got a filled CFSELECT on my form and want the selected value to be passed back as an argument in my url.

This is my code (stripped a bit), all I can't figure out is how to get the correct value into URL.tranfer_To. [ponder]
I've been reading, looking, googling and trying, but just can't get it. [sadeyes] I can't help feeling I'm missing something simple.

</head>

<cfparam name="URL.action" default="">
<cfparam name="URL.user_Id" default="">
<cfparam name="URL.owner_Id" default="">
<cfparam name="URL.transfer_To" default="">

<cfset sMessage ="">

<cfif URL.action EQ 2 Or URL.action EQ 3>
<!--- Some specific coding based on the stuff passed in the URL --->

<cfset sMessage = "Right! Now for the last bit. #URL.user_Id# - #URL.owner_Id# - #URL.transfer_To#">

</cfif>

<body>

<cfform>
<cfoutput>
<cfquery name="CurrentOwner" datasource="yoonidata"> select .... </cfquery>
<cfquery name="newOwner" datasource="yoonidata"> select .... </cfquery>
<cfquery name="sql" datasource="yoonidata"> SELECT ... </cfquery>


<h3>Overzetten gebruikersbeheer</h3>
<p>#sMessage# </p>
<table>
<tr> <td width="237">#CurrentOwner.name#</td> </tr>
<tr> <td>#CurrentOwner.login_id#</td> </tr>
<tr> <td>
<cfselect name="selectOwner" style="width:255px;" query="newOwner" value="login_id" display="name">
<option value="" selected="selected">Maak een keuze</option>
</cfselect> </td>
</tr>
</table>

<table cellpadding=0 cellspacing=0 border=0>
<tr>
<td nowrap width=50><b>ID</b></td>
<td nowrap width=40>&nbsp;</td>
</tr>

<cfloop query="sql">

<tr>
<td nowrap>#user_id#</td>
<td align=right>
<a href="user_transfer.cfm?action=2&owner_Id=#owner_id#&user_Id=#user_id#&transfer_To=#Form.selectOwner#" target="mainFrame" ><img src="../../images/icon_transfer.gif"> </a>
</td>
</tr>

</cfloop>

</table>
</cfoutput>

Can somebody help me out? Please? Pretty please? [neutral]

Thanks in advance..

user_transfer.cfm?action=2&owner_Id=#owner_id#&user_Id=#user_id#&transfer_To=#Form.selectOwner#

tranfer_To variable is FORM.selectOwner (your cfselect variable).

you are already passing this variable in the url to user_transfer.cfm file...

Sorry I've tried that, but FORM, form or Form all end up telling me

"Element SELECTOWNER is undefined in FORM"

I've seen that error while searching, so I tried defining

<cfparam name="Form.selectOwner" default="z">

It helps solving the error, but not for passing the correct value. It then always passes the value z, which makes sence. (By the way,my select is a dropdownlist, shouldn't make a difference I guess.)
