Actually, it sounds like this would be better fixed by changing your
architecture. If you need to retain form information then stack the action
page on top of your form page. That way you can fall through and re-display
the form if validation fails, or you can insert into the db and cflocate if
the fields are ok. In fusebox it would look like this:
<cfcase value="edit">
<cfinclude template="act_updateCategory.cfm">
<cfinclude template="dsp_header.cfm">
<cfinclude template="dsp_catInfo.cfm">
<cfinclude template="dsp_footer.cfm">
</cfcase>
If you aren't fond of fusebox your form page might look like this:
<cfif isdefined("form.submit")>
<cfinclude template="act_updateCategory.cfm">
</cfif>
<!--- display form --->
<form action="[submit to self]" ....
