Re:

Coldfusion does recognize it. Use the value of the name attribute of the select field. For example,

<cfif isDefined("form.mySelect")>

form.mySelect: <cfoutput>#form.mySelect#</cfoutput>

</cfif>

<cfform action="#cgi.SCRIPT_NAME#">

<cfselect name="mySelect">

<option value="1">Yes</option>

<option value="0">No</option>

</cfselect>

<cfinput name="sbmt" type="submit" value="send">

</cfform>
