The simplest answer is to submit the form to a "preview" page, and pass the
information along to a "confirm" page as hidden fields. Something like this:
<!--- input page --->
<form action="preview.cfm" method="post">
<textarea name="news" cols="50" rows="10" wrap="virtual"></textarea>
<input type="submit" value="Preview article">
</form>
<!--- preview page --->
<cfoutput>
<form action="addarticle.cfm" method="post">
Here is how it will look. Hit "back" to make any changes.
<formatting stuff>
#FORM.news#
</formatting stuff>
<input type="hidden" name="news" value="#FORM.news#">
<input type="submit" value="Submit article">
</form>
</cfoutput>
<!--- final page --->
<cfquery name="insertArticle" datasource="#APPLICATION.dsn#">
SQL stuff
</cfquery>
Thanks for your submission!
HTH!
