< CFcoffee />

In May I had a problem with (select) drop-downs when using a CFGRID after an updated to 8.1. I have not seen any blog posts about this particular problem so I wanted to share it with you here.

After applying the Coldfusion update 8.1 I was experiencing problems with my HTML Grids. Any drop-downs I had in my cfgridcolumn tag did not displaying correctly i.e. values were missing. Example of the code i was using is below...

Nothing special, so I emailed Adobe and reported it as a Bug to them.

About one week after this I had an email back from Adobe stating they have addressed the issue and released a patch (not a hotfix). I was surprised at how fast they resolved this issue.

Anyhow, if anyone is having the same problem. Apparently it's a CSS issue and also affects CFMENU. You need to replace the following files with the new ones found here

Zip file has the following new files...

• Yui.css
• Trigger.gif
