in that case,
how bout setting a session variable on the form page (which can't be seen
using 'view source' on the form page) and then running a cfif on the post
page to see if the session variable is equal to whatever you told it to be.
if it is than proceed with the submit, if it isn't than spit out HTML code
that says 'error, this request was not submitted by the right page'.
again, the cfif code can't be seen when they view source so they shouldn't
be able to know what you're checking for.
or some combination of that, HTTP referer and the java suggestion.
