Why not just use JavaScript to check your fields before you submit the form?

Here's my latest trial. I feel like I am so close, but I just can't quite figure it out. I have a login prompt. When the use does not log in properly, the action page directs the browser back to the login prompt. I want to display a message to the user based on what they did wrong. For example, if the user left the password field blank, I want the message to say, "No password supplied". I expect that I would want to populate a variable within CFIF statement that evaluates what the user did incorrect and reference that value on the calling page so that when it is reloaded, if it is defined, the message is displayed. I just can't seem to figure out what type of variable can be populated by an action page and returned to a calling page. Do I have to use session variables? Thank you so much.
