You do it by posting the form to a .cfm file which does the work, and then redirects to a regular page via <cflocation ...> Don't confuse "page" with something that is displayed to the browser. There are plenty of coldfusion files that are never seen by the browser and display no data. Ultimately, you put your "procedures" into a cfc, and instantiate that cfc, putting it into a memory scope like the session or application, and then your .cfm file merely takes the form post and passes it to the "procedure" (we call them methods or functions), then does something based on the result that is returned from the cfc method. Like redirectiong to a "login success" page or home page or whatever.
