Hey,  
I have been beating my head of this all afternoon. I want to create a dynamic drop down list where the index is used to create the month.

so something pretty much like this but working:

```auto

<cfform name="form1">
    <cfselect name="month_loop">    	
        <cfloop index="month_loop" from="1" to="12">
            <option label="DateFormat(#month_loop#,mmmm)" value="DateFormat(#month_loop#,mmmm)">#DateFormat(#month_loop#,mmmm)#</option>
        </cfloop>
    </cfselect>
</cfform>

```

Right now it loops the 12 times but instead of displaying a month it just displays DateFormat(#month\_loop#,mmmm) 12 times… any idea’s?
