My understanding is that you're stuck at trying to get the "results" that display from submitting the "Vendor" and "Product" data to be sent along with the other form input data from the form above when the submit button under the "Alternate Part Numbers" field, right?
If that's the case, what about simplifying this operation and put your "Cross Reference" section above the first submit button. I don't see where there should be a need to process the vendor and product cross reference data into a list for display on template.cfm. Unless there's some reason I'm not understanding. Allow users to use the "add vendor" and "add product" links to insert more fields into your main form. You can use your cfloop code to create your lists on the builderAction.cfm page instead of going through the difficulty of ajaxing that info to action.cfm, returning it to template.cfm, and then trying to get that data passed to builderAction.cfm along with the form fields in the main form. In other words, just use the "Cross Reference Form" functionality to create additional form fields in the main form. Your users shouldn't get confused by using the "add vendor" and "add product" links to create additional fields. (And if they are, they'll get it after reviewing the post on builderAction.cfm) Is the data in the form fields just being used for creation of the .html pages, or is it going into a database, also? Thoughts on this approach?

Originally it didnt have code to loop through the struct and display the values. <cfoutput><cfset results = deserializeJSON(url.data)> <!--- <cfdump var="#results#"> ---> <cfloop collection="#results#" item="itemName"> <cfset item = results[itemName]> <!--- <cfdump var="#item#" label="Item Name #itemName#"> ---> <cfloop collection="#item.vendors#" item="vendorName"> <ul><li><h2>#vendorName#</h2></li> <cfset productArray = item.vendors[vendorName]> <!--- <cfdump var="#productArray#" label="Products for vendor: #vendorName#"> ---> <cfloop array="#productArray#" index="productName"> <li>#productName#</li></cfloop></ul> </cfloop> </cfloop> </cfoutput> Thats the code I added to the action.cfm just to loop through and display. >What's the code on action.cfm? > > >Well there was a div on the original action.cfm.
