submitted values. To repopulate the form, you'll either have to
submit the form to itself, include the form in the action page (with
CFINCLUDE), or set the form data to some persistant scope (session or
client), and then read it out of the session scope into the form after
the CFLOCATION.
I'd recommend the middle option (including the form), becuase it
allows you to separate processing from the form itself, but doen't
make you deal with the extra persistant storage.
