Howard,
Check out qForms:
http://www.pengoworks.com/qforms/docs/examples/setfields.htm
I also did a WDDX Form example I used to have online a while ok, but I've
taken it offline as it was extremely outdated.
Using the method in the qForms example above, you'd just need to do
something like this.
1) When data is submitted to the server, save the FORM scope/structure as a
WDDX packet (in this example, I'll call it "wddxPacket".)
2) On the edit page, invoke the following command somewhere within your
<head></head> tags:
<script>
<cfwddx
action="WDDX2JS"
input="#wddxPacket#"
toplevelvariable="oSavedData">
</script>
3) Now in the example, change the code "objForm.setFields(stcForm);" to:
objForm.setFields(oSavedData);
Obviously, you'll want to change the example around to match your exact
needs (i.e., you'll probably want to invoke the setFields() method during
the onLoad event of the document.)
