Your form shouldn't be making a round trip to the server like that when
you click on an anchor link. It sounds like the browser is getting
confused.
Make sure the spelling and case of your link with the #continue on it is
EXACTLY the same as the link that gets you to the form in the first
place. Even tho NTFS isn't case sensitive, the HTTP protocol *is*.
Browsers have to assume that DisplayForm.cfm and displayform.cfm are two
different pages. Make sure you use the same spelling & capitalization
everywhere, and you shouldn't get the "error resolving parameter" since
the page shouldn't be sent back the server at that point anyways...
That said, the suggestion of using CFPARAM to define all the variables
you expect to get is a very good one -- you should always try to
gracefully handle any kind of end user error rather than have CF throw
up an ugly cryptic error message.
In this particular case, tho, you shouldn't ever be getting to that
error since the browser shouldn't be re-requesting this page from the
server. It already has a copy of it in cache, and assuming all your
URLs are setup right, it'll just jump around on the page as it should.
