Apologies if this is exactly as someone else's, but here's what I do for my
site:
I use just one login script, aptly name login.cfm!, across the site. Each
page has login-form-fields which are then passed to login.cfm - if the user
fails to login correctly, the following code is executed................
<cfif NOT isdefined('client.WhereWasI')>
<cfset client.WhereWasI = '#cgi.http_referer#'>
<cfelse>
<p>We've detected the page you first had problems logging in at:
<p><cfoutput>#client.WhereWasI#</cfoutput>
<p>Once you've logged in successfully, you'll be returned there.<p>
...............then once they, eventually, login correctly I just do a
quick cflocation
<Cfif isdefined('client.WhereWasI')>
<Cflocation addtoken="no" url="#client.WhereWasI#">
<Cfset Delclient = deleteclientvariable("WhereWasI")>
<cfelse>
<Cflocation addtoken="no" url="#cgi.http_referer#">
</cfif>
That final <cflocation> is for when a user logs in correctly first time - no
mistakes - and is then sent back to the page they were at.
Hope this helps
Will
