Hi,

I haven't had trouble with url parameters before now, but the attached code is not passing the parameter and I can't figure out why. Any help would be appreciated.

You're right, there were some copy/paste mistakes. I removed the form tags and changed the link code to:

<td><a href="editstick.cfm?ID=#Posts.postsid#"><cfoutput>#Posts.postsid#</cfoutput></a></td>

However, the url parameter is still not being passed on. In Firefox, the status bar shows http://mysite/editstick.cfm?ID=#Posts.postsid# rather than the numeric id ( http://mysite/editstick.cfm?ID=1). On other pages I've done, Firefox shows the numeric id rather than the #recordset.fieldname# combination. I don't want to display my data in single rows, but that's the only way I've ever done it before. Sorry to be so dumb.

There's no cfoutput around the url parameter value. That's why its not evaluating the id.

Rather than using all those separate <cfoutput> tags, why not just use <cfoutput query="..."> instead of <cfloop query=".."> ?

Your query values probably won't be evaluated if they're not surrounded by # signs or enclosed in either <cfoutput> tags or a <cfoutput query="..."> loop. Also, it looks like you've got a copy+paste error: method=get"

If an action isn't supplied, the form should submit to the same page by default. But I'm not sure why they are using a form at all .. as there seem to be no form fields in the code.

That may or may not be the case current browsers, but the HTML 4 specification at W3C states that it is required. Check it out at: http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-html40/interact/forms.html#h-17.3

For openers, you don't have the required ACTION="actionPage" in your form tag. See http://htmlhelp.com/reference/html40/forms/form.html for more information on the FORM tag.
