A number of ways you could do this... Include all the form fields as url
variables in the cflocation tag _if_ you know they can't or won't enter very
much data in the fields on that form and default the form values to url
parameters, i.e. :
<cfparam name="url.phonenumber" type="string" default="">
<input type="text" name="phonenumber"
value="#htmleditformat(url.phonenumber)#">
Or set the form variables to session variables prior to the redirect and
default the form variables to session variables:
<cflock scope="session" type="exclusive" timeout="10">
<cfset session.forms.contactinfo = duplicate(form)></cflock>
<cflocation href="blah blah">
<cflock scope="session" type="readonly" timeout="10">
<cfif isdefined("session.forms.contactinfo")>
<cfset structappend(form,session.forms.contactinfo)>
</cfif></cflock>
<cfparam name="form.phonenumber" type="string" default="">
<input type="text" name="phonenumber"
value="#htmledtiformat(form.phonenumber)#">
Or -- create a form on the action page with all the values of the submitted
form and use javascript to submit it back to the previous page.
Or -- (my favorite) -- include the action page at the top of the form page
and default all the fields in the form to form variables... This way you
don't have to muck with any of the redirecting stuff -- fewer moving parts,
less likely to break. :)
<cfif isdefined("form.phonenumber")>
<cfinclude template="myactionpage">
</cfif>
<form>
<cfparam name="form.phonenumber" type="string" default="">
<input type="text" name="phonenumber"
value="#htmleditformat(form.phonenumber)#">
