I would simplify the loop, I just dislike extraneous lines of code and
try to avoid it whenever possible.

<cfoutput>
<cfloop list="#form.fieldnames#" index="field">
<input type="text" name="#x# value="#form#" />
</cfloop>
</cfoutput>

Thanks all for your help, this might be the longer route, but it worked.

<form method="post" action="fomefile.cfm">
<cfloop index="x" list="#form.fieldnames#">
<cfoutput>
<cfset name=#x#>
<cfset value=#form#>
<input type="text" name="#name#" value="#value#" />
</cfoutput>
</cfloop>
<input type="submit" value="Yes"></form>yes <FORM>

If you really want a loop.

<cfset session.theForm = structNew()>

<cfloop collection="#form#" item="i">
<cfset session.theForm = form>
</cfloop>

The one line version:
<cfset session.theForm = duplicate(Form)>

Yes it is a huge form, with data entered from a user into a form and posted to an intermediate page, then needs to be posted to the action page. Therefore, I would have to hand code all the session variable sets. So that really wouldnt be saving me much. I would like to find a way to set them with a loop if possible, wether the outcome would be session or form variables, the problem still remains.

Dan,

Just a query.

Is it advisable to store all the form field values in session object, as Matt has mentioned that this is a huge form? And the form must be containing huge number of form fields.

Thanks

Nope...not the answer. Anyone see what i might do to try and cfset all these form.variables in a loop??

I am hoping this will work. Gonna try...



<cfloop index="x" list="#form.fieldnames#">
<cfoutput>
<cfset x=#form#>
</cfoutput>
</cfloop>

When you say redeclare do you mean pass them as hidden fields?
