Coldfusion.window.hide clearing form struct

I have an ecommerce site. I have terms and conditions/disclaimer info that I put in a cfwindow tag. The cfwindow is hidden initially and I open it with coldfusion.window.show. Everything works just fine. The problem occurs when I close the window. It closes just fine with the 'X' in the upper right corner, but I also built a button to close it using coldfusion.window.hide. When this is clicked, it closes the window, puts x and y variables in the url and clears the form struct. I have some form variables displaying on the page. So the net result is that when the cfwindow is closed, the page refreshes and some info is missing from the page that comes from the form. Anyone else run into this?
