You're making a mistake in your assumption. In your code above, there will
never be a variable called "Form.submit". You'd have to give your submit
button a name to have it pass its value to the action page. You can easily
test this by putting some literal text in your CFIF test; you'll see that
the text never displays even after the form has been submitted.
Once you fix that HTML error, your code will in fact reference
CGI.QUERY_STRING correctly.
