Can you programatically set a row to be highlighted in a CFGRID? I want to have
the first row selected every time the form is loaded so as to populate some
other fields I have in the form which are bound to the grid? Anyone got any
code that does this???

This will do it.

<cfscript>
title = "Binding an image to a cfgrid with thumbnail";
properties = queryNew("id,name");
queryAddRow(properties);
querySetCell(properties,'id','1');
querySetCell(properties,'name','Tom');
queryAddRow(properties);
querySetCell(properties,'id','2');
querySetCell(properties,'name','Dick');
queryAddRow(properties);
querySetCell(properties,'id','3');
querySetCell(properties,'name','Harry');
queryAddRow(properties);
querySetCell(properties,'id','4');
querySetCell(properties,'name','Sally');
</cfscript>



<cfsavecontent variable="onLoad">
grdProps.setFocus();
grdProps.setSelectedIndex(0);
</cfsavecontent>

<cfsavecontent variable="binding">
{(trigger.text != '') ? trigger.dispatchEvent({type:'change'}) : 'init'}
</cfsavecontent>


<cfform name="mainform" format="flash" method="post" width="400"
onchange="#onLoad#" bind="#binding#">
<cfformgroup type="panel">
<cfformgroup type="horizontal">
<cfformgroup type="vbox">
<cfgrid format="flash" query="properties" name="grdProps" width="240"
rowheaders="no">
<cfgridcolumn name="name" header="Name">
</cfgrid>
<cfinput type="text" visible="false" height='0' width="0" name="trigger"
value="init" onchange="#onLoad#" bind="#binding#">
</cfformgroup>
</cfformgroup>
</cfformgroup>
</cfform>

This works, thx !!!

But can you give us a few words of what is the invisible textbox and the second cfsavecontent-tag exactly does, please?

The text input and the code in the cfsavecontent tag are a necessary workaround
if you want to select the first item on form load because flash forms do not
have an onload attribute.
