If you want to use hidden form fields, this will help:
<cfif IsDefined("form.fieldnames")>
<cfloop
list="#form.fieldnames#"
index="field">
<cfoutput>
<input type=hidden name="#field#" value="#evaluate("form."&"#field#")#">
</cfoutput>
</cfloop>
</cfif>
So you don't have to manually code your form fields onto each page.
