George,
I don't know what your reason for not liking information
popping up in the URL is, but I bet I can convince you that
it's not such a bad thing.
For example, if the URL is only index.cfm (with no
query string) every time, it's impossible to bookmark and
impossible for a search engine to index your page -- even
the smart ones.
It also seems to make debugging difficult. Do you really
want to hit the back button, view source, and find some
javascript just to find out where you are?
And remember, if you're using Javascript for every link,
you're shutting out anyone who doesn't have javascript
or doesn't have it enabled.
Anyway, I don't understand why refreshing is a problem,
because the browser should repost the form data when it
refreshes.
