If you don't want to create the hidden form fields by hand, you can always
loop over the FORM.FieldNames list as in:
<CFLOOP LIST="#FORM.FieldNames#" INDEX="currEle">
<CFOUTPUT>
<INPUT TYPE="Hidden" NAME="#currEle#"
VALUE="#Replace(Evaluate("FORM.#currEle#"), '"', """,
"ALL")#">
</CFOUTPUT>
</CFLOOP>
If you just don't want to pass all of those variables along from page to
page, you can store them in SESSION. Then, you'd use code like:
<CFLOOP LIST="#FORM.FieldNames#" INDEX="currEle">
<CFSET SetVariable("SESSION.#currEle#", Evaluate("FORM.#currEle#"))>
</CFLOOP>
Or something like that.
Warning: I'm dead tired at the moment and have not tested any of this code.
So there are probably some nasty problems with the code 8^).
