I've been playing around with the XSL forms in Coldfusion MX 7 and ran into a bug yesterday. If I have a multiple select, then the XSL style sheets don't properly mark each selected value as such. Let's say I have this code:

<cfselect 
    name="PhaseIDs" 
    label="Assigned Phases: " 
    query="rsPhaseList"
    value="PhaseID"
    display="PhaseName"
    selected="#Book.getPhaseIDs()#"
    size="10" 
    multiple="yes"
></cfselect>

I would expect CF to spit out a select menu with all of the values retrned by #Book.getPhaseIDs()# selected. Unfortunately, nothing gets selected. I found this code in _formelements.xsl:

<xsl:if test="string-length($selectedValues) != 0 and $selectedValues = $lowervalue"> <xsl:attribute name="selected">selected</xsl:attribute> </xsl:if>

With that code, if I pass multple values, nothing will ever get selected, since $selectedValues contains a comma delimted list of values (2,6,10 will never match 2 [the current ID]). So I hit up the Coldfusion TMMs for some help, and S. Isaac Dealey of FusionTap came back with this fix:

<xsl:if test="string-length($selectedValues) != 0 and contains(concat(',',$selectedValues,','),concat(',',$lowervalue,','))"> <xsl:attribute name="selected">selected</xsl:attribute> </xsl:if>

That code tacks a comma at the beginning and end of the list of selected values, and then uses contains to find out if the list contains the string ",2," instead of just "2".
