I'm not one of the CFML gurus, just wanted to say that up front. Ok, so you're in the field, have loaded your app from a webserver, and use it to collect data, the issue is that the data could get lost in a timeout when the connection's dropped, is that right?
Maybe use a javascript function to poll a cfc on the server every few seconds or so and display the result live on the page, if you feel the need to manually hit submit. Or simply have a JS function submit the data through AJAX after successfully polling a cfc and update you with the current status. (Have the cfc return a success string for example.) Just my 2 cents.
