Initial option appearing in drop down menu

[toby007]

I am working on an application. If I click on a button I am transfered to a
new page that displays a drop down message. When I navigate to this page I
wish to display one particular option and not the other options. Normally this
would not be too complicated. The complication is this - I have several ways
of navigating to this page. It is only when I navigate to this page using the
approach outlined above that I only want to display one option. If I navigate
to this option from other areas of the site I want all options to appear in the
drop down menu. I am wondering if someone can suggest a mechanism for doing
this. Regards Toby

What about wrapping this particular button in a form and give the button
a name buttonName, then on the receiving page:

<cfif IsDefined("Form.buttonName")>
one set of options
<cfelse>
the other set of options
</cfif>
