In kinda a combination of the ways that have been suggested, I do this.
I param all of the form field variables as soon as a user hits the page.
<cfset fieldlist = "name, address, whatever">
<cfloop list="#fieldlist#" index="i">
<cfparam name="form.#i#" default="">
</cfloop>
<input type="checkbox" name="whatever" value="val" #IIF(form.whatever =
'val', DE("checked"), DE(""))#>
I then submit the results to the same page and do my validation at the top
or in an include. If the info passes validation I cflocate to the next page.
If not, the form is displayed again, but this time since the variables are
already there the fields are not paramed and you never loose what the user
typed.
If you need a sticky form, queries are cooler instead of cfparam, because a
query that returns no result will still return null values for all the the
fields.
